Pros

Excellent new hire training 21 days off for new hires Flexible schedules Excellent cultural and industry association opportunities if you work in one of the corporate offices

Cons

SPAWAR - parking, facilities, clients - awful. When you are dedicated to the client site you are on your own. You better like taking notes! Your work is centered around a single client, almost like you are a personal assistant to a government employee.

Pros

- Overall good work/life balance - Short commute to job site - Competitive salary for my area - Retirement package

Cons

- Big company environment with employees who refer to Booz as "The Firm" - Very competitive work environment - Senior managers who care more about Booz contracts than doing what's right for the client - Huge university hire program, get 'em in early and work 'em to death - Business suits or business causal EVERYDAY. No casual days ever.

Pros

Work life balance Name on resume - always a good thing The chance to make a name for yourself with your clients The chance to work with a select few with intellect and smarts in the industry

Cons

If you are not part of the 'in' crowd and play with the good old boys you are out- do what I did - eave for something better after you make a name for yourself They are nothing but another defense contractor - no strategy consulting Underpaid - well below market Clicquish culture You don;t have to be smart or have intellect you just have to know how to BS with the best and if you disagree you are out - go to another firm and use your smarts there - BAh does not appreciate it Circa 2009 - well below the competition in terms of smarts (just look at who is being hired today), well below in compensation and just another staff augmentation firm
