Pros

The firm has/had a good reputation. Inexpensive medical and dental benefits. Lots of trainign opportunities.

Cons

Low pay increase and salaries, this is attributed to the booz allen having a very expensive/overhead rate. The majority of the money is sucked up in overhead/level of effort for senior/executive level management. These persons receive bonuses. None of the Level 1 and 2 receive annual bonuses. Work is difficult to come by at Booz. Management will ask you to volunteer but will not compensate you for your efforts (not even o your assessment). You receive 1 assessment each year, and depending on your salary, you will not receive no more than 3.5% as a merit increase (this % is standard and is consider lucky if you get a 3.5% in salary). Tuition reimbursement is low. Company will try to give you $5K oer year for tuition, upon which they dictate how you use your tuition dollars, plus you on them anywhere from 6 months for receiving a certification via your tuition dollars or 1.5 years after you receive your degree via your tuition dollars. No real room for growth. Vacation time and personal are combined with your sick time (PTO).

Pros

The level of expertise and talent from the colleagues you work with. The challenges from the clients.

Cons

Until 2 years ago, there were no downsides. Then along came Carlisle Group. We were told nothing would change. Things really have changed a lot and will continue to change.

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.
