Pros

Still looks great on your resume

Cons

The firm has lost its identity since going public. Booz Allen was known as a gold-plated consulting firm. Now transformation projects have given way to the larger staff augmentation jobs ... butts in seats. Layoffs, which were unheard of in the past, are a regular occurrence, indeed, a sword hanging over everyone's head. As one former senior manager said, "I didn't leave Booz Allen, Booz Allen left me." Sad to say, Booz Allen is now just another beltway bandit.

Pros

1. Great introduction to government consulting. 2. Great internal training opportunities, when you are able to get off of client-site. 3. Solid benefits packages.

Cons

1. Unsustainable business models - competing now solely on price points, not on quality services. 2. Shift away from the "Booz Allen" way. Consulting is no longer priority when competing for government services positions. 3. Benefits packages have taken a hit recently and are no longer a key differentiator from other contracting companies. 4. Although corporate social responsibility receives lip-service from leadership, the real levels of support is minimal and highly risk averse, limiting potential for positive impacts beyond volunteer efforts. 5. Solely focused on billable hours, while requiring contribution above and beyond for marketing and proposal efforts, while providing no additional incentives for staff below Sr. Associate level.
