Booz Allen Hamilton reviews

I received a 2% raise this year and there was steep decline in benefits! The 401K 10% contribution is gone and this year they switched to high deductible health plans effectively negating raises. As a high performer on a profitable project, I am constantly asked by upper management to do marketing, proposal and administrative activities. Recently, with the lack of performance recognition I’ve been declining the “extra” activities. I wish management would realize we are not volunteers and they need to take of their greatest asset…..people. As many other folks have written there has been an erosion of what made Booz Allen so great before….culture! Management has taken note, but I’m not sure there is anything to do at this point to turn the ship around. Attrition rates have been VERY high and I heard that recently it was over 25%. Upper management says 2-5% raise is the standard in the industry and they are confused why people jump ship to competitors. If a competitor dangles better benefits and a 10-20% increase….doesn’t seem like a hard choice.

Analytic infrastructure is a joke. It is 2015 and the firm hasn't yet figured out a cost structure for a dedicated analytic framework. It is baffling and frustrating. Since the firm went public, the culture became more 'lean' (stingy). As a result, teams are squabbling more with each other on staffing bids and writing proposals. The benefits have become ridiculous, particularly health. It IS an interesting social experiment, watching the Dilbertization of what used to be a great place to work
