Pros

Great brand recognition in the DC area. Fantastic firm for those willing to work extremely hard to grow and build their own business.

Cons

Senior management is still learning to operate a traded company. The ever-declining stock price in combination with the current federal budget has led to a series of profit-focused decisions that are decreasing benefits for revenue generating staff and increasing attrition. Middle management has also suffered and is now more concerned with their own job preservation than developming consultants through lead associates.

Pros

- BAH is a good company to have in your resume (or at least it was). BAH used to be on of the top 5 strategic management consulting firms so many people associate BAH with the past. - The company used to have good benefits, but once it went public the company started cutting benefits left and right. Work life balance is good.

Cons

- Office environment: good old boy network. If you and you boss get a long you will get promoted quickly. Promotions do not take into account experience or performance. - Management is poor. As mentioned, people promoted are not the most adequate or capable, thus management does not know what they are doing. Management that come from without the company are mostly hired by their size of the roller deck. - BAH primary source of revenue if the federal government. Projects are not challenging, and most of the time involve minimal creativity and problem solving skills. - As of 2013, company's revenue has decrease significantly. Layoffs are projected and comany is projected to cut benefits.

Pros

Work with a diverse group of people Gain valuable experience Interesting work

Cons

Seldom promotes from within; would rather hire people from the outside for higher level positions Boasts of a culture built on core values such as trust, integrity, teamwork, professionalism, diversity, etc., yet this culture does not exist. Very difficult to find many people who actually exhibit the core values Career growth and overall experience varies greatly depending on what team you are on
