      Pros

      Great people, great benefits, great hours. Good mentors. Easy to move up.

      Cons

      Low Salary, all employees are hired the same regardless of degree. Engineers are paid equal salary as English majors when first hired. Not a great place to develop skills. Sometimes hired for numbers and not specific to the field or the candidate. Inconsistent work assignments.

      Not a career model

      Pros

      Some contracts still allow for flexible work, including telework. Project teams are often composed of very intelligent, motivated individuals, who make work enjoyable.

      Cons

      In recent years, Booz Allen has demonstrated a short-sightedness in hiring and LOW practices. Leadership is often instructed to make "strategic hires." These individuals leave stable jobs with the promise of project work and a long career at Booz, only to join and find there is no project work for them, and receive a LOW. Likewise, staff who have been at Booz for years now find that their jobs are at risk immediately after a contract ends. Management provides very inconsistent/dishonest messaging along the way.

      Hierarchical Organization

      Pros

      The company is well-established and respected, so having it on your resume can look good. If you fit in with the team you are on, it can be a good environment, with your managers seeking out positions for you and helping you move ahead.

      Cons

      The company has become even more hierarchical and autocratic than it was when I joined 8 years ago. It has changed significantly from when it was a private firm. In addition, the government client is no longer the easy "cash cow" it was traditionally. It is trying to maintain the image of itself being a thought-leader, but generally we have become a "seat in chair" operation -- contractors rather than consultants. New grads and inexperienced employees make the company more profitable. Some teams feel like "sororities" rather than a professional team.
