Pros

The Benefits are the on only good things about this company

Cons

-Lack of career growth and pigeon holed with respect to opportunities. -Diversity is forced down your throat. -Find yourself checking blocks just to survive the "360" Assessment -Good talented People more often then none do not get rewarded for hard work and dedication. -Dirtbags are protected by management -U.S. Government is being created out of their money. -Find yourself asking, "Does the U.S. Government really pay me all this money (relatively speaking) to do nothing?", Answer? Yes they do! -Senior Management sits back getting fat and happy while others sit around trying to figure out the matrix (with the exception of the 30 Plus Principles who recently got laid off) -High Turn-over -Have to wear a monkey suit daily except for Friday - Job Requisitions for recruiting paint a picture that describes the need for individuals to extremely technical work which is not even really true for Pen Testers. -If you are technical or desire to be forget about it, you will lose those skills and/or never gain them. -Everyone walks around being frightened of Senior Associates (Level IV's), because the mentality is if you are not a Level IV, you are no one. Strangely, everyone seems to get along well with Principals (Level V's) or higher. -If your Level IV or higher is gunning for the next promotion, they will stop at nothing from screwing those below them over to get there, hell they have too much to lose not to screw the people that made them successful.

Pros

1. Opportunities for professional growth, especially when trying to achieve Associate level. 2. Excellent benefits, including flexible scheduling (good work/life balance) and great contribution to the retirement plan from the company. 3. Overall, competent Senior management - try to get quality feedback from their employees from the top to the bottom.

Cons

Once one reaches Associate level, it can be challenging to get promoted to the next level. While I was employed at BAH, a lot of realignment occurred with their services. So, one has to be open to constant change. However, I was very satisfied with my career at BAH. I gained a lot of valuable skills that I continue to use at other companies.
