Pros

I took a job with Booz Allen straight out of college, and generally enjoy working here a lot. Booz Allen has a great disabilities assistance program, and is wonderful about it's treatment of LGBT employees. The work hours are extremely flexible, and many people telework frequently. My colleges are incredible people, but YMMV. I took the job for three reasons: the Booz Allen name, the fact that they are sponsoring me for a TS/SCI clearance with polygraph, and the promise of a friend (who recruited me) at the firm that the group I would join would do important and interesting work. He is right, and I'm glad I decided to take the pay-cut to work here. That said, if I decide to start a family, it would be doing them a disservice to continue to work at a firm where my abilities and work are consistently and significantly undervalued.

Cons

BAH seems to underpay, even in comparison to other consulting firms. Fresh out of college they offered me 60k (with 3k signing bonus), but Glassdoor says the median salary for my job is 78,967. I know I can leave Booz Allen in a few years and move to the west coast and double or triple my salary, and I probably will.

Pros

Great colleagues,important work, and flexible working arrangements with good telework options.

Cons

Your work satisfaction depends greatly on your particular contract...my work became mundane and unstimulating that it could have been done by someone with a high school education. I definitely was not engaged in the kind of work I was promised when I joined the firm...work that would challenge my skills, knowledge, and abilities. Also, their benefits package, especially the 401(k), got worse and worse each year.

Pros

Good Networking. Free food occasionally. There's plenty of other people who hate their job as much as you do so you have a team to connect with who are excited for you when you get another job.

Cons

Benefits are horrible for those who don't make much. POOR MANAGEMENT: Lack of communication starts from the top. The management doesn't follow policies and procedures so there's no respect for the rest of the team. Other teams and even your management look down at you as if you're the help. People are taken for granted and they plot to get you off the team if they do not like you personally. Oh and there's no going to HR because they are best friends with your team lead, so information is leaked. Team members health declined due to stress. The job isn't worth it. SAVE YOURSELF BY NOT COMING TO BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON
