Booz Allen Hamilton reviews

Leadership lacks functional knowledge in areas they are supposed to develop No career growth No commitment to employees Little communication about stratgic planning from leadership to functional levels Marked absence of innovation Riding on the coat tails of the once reasonably reputable commercial side of the firm Sold as a conculting firm in recruiting process, but just a contractor shop

1) Promotion process - undefined and subjective 2) Lack of transparency (top-down) 3) Politics drives internal decision making/utilization pressures can be overwhelming 4) Senior management largely inaccessible 5) You may be stuck on projects for a long time you dislike just to meet utilization goals, which may impede your career growth 6) Salary below average 7)No flexibility to manage your career and making steady progress due to too many constraints and internal politics 8) Leaders responsible for business development are also assigned a role of career manager for their staff - their focus is primarily on how to maintain and solidify their own business case and in the process committing their staff to projects without any regard on whether the assignment match the skills of that employee or help them grow in their career
