Pros

For an entry level job, Booz Allen is a great place. The people that work there are very friendly and supportive and the work environment is good (flexible, moderate work load, etc.) Senior management is open and friendly as well.

Cons

For entry level, the pay can vary widely with individuals with the same credentials based on what account hires them in and who does the hiring. Many individuals at my same level came in at anywhere from 5 K less to 10 K more with similar backgrounds. There are also no bonuses. This creates a culture of negative feelings towards the company. Further, paid time off days are few and there are no designated sick days. Raises are extremely low (0-3%), and consultants of many levels are known to be laid off for lack of finding work (despite having strong skillets and good educational/work backgrounds). Experiences vary widely based on project, but some colleagues in various accounts have been deferred promotions based on a lack of "expertise developed." This is problematic because a lot of the entry level positions do not provide opportunities to develop expertise.

Pros

Great benefits, compensation. Clients tend to be top-drawer

Cons

Once you've reached your useful life, whether it's 2 years or 2 months, you're done. The internal referral program is worthless. Their business ethics are lousy.

Pros

The people are really nice. It's not your typical competitive consulting work place. I learned a lot in the time I was there and had great support with it. Training is readily available and you are always encouraged to keep outdoing you. Meaning once you reach a new level they automatically start working on the next. If you're a young ambitious person like myself it's a great place for you. If your a slow and routined person - I wouldn't go here. No 2 days are ever the same. Advancement opportunities are readily available. Plenty of diverse projects across the firm.

Cons

The pay. Unfortunately the pay could be a lot better. But I do believe the experience gained in the short amount of time here will set you up for a bigger payday down the road a lot faster than if you were at a different company.
