Pros

- Market presence (i.e. ability to leverage brand & firm resources to accomplish goals) - Mature capabilities & ready to use IC - Places high emphasis on certifications and training (continued learning) - Name recognition

Cons

- With the divestiture of the commercial side, a lack of innovation and vision for "whats next" has emerged (i.e. the organization is slowly becoming the client it supports - Gov't) - The Carlyle groups "partnership" is looking more like an acquisition as the firm postures itself for an IPO. In doing so the maximization of short term benefits is being stressed over the overall quality and health of the firm - Growth at breakneck speed is eroding the environment and culture that built the Booz Allen brand

Pros

Booz Allen is filled with bright and motivated employees. Its focus on mission achievement for its federal government clients helps give the firm and staff a level of client service that is unusual in the industry. The firm has a competency-based performance management system that help focus performance feedback and compensation on a relatively fair accounting of outcomes that help the firm.

Cons

Staff works extremely hard, and the "stars" work even harder. On the up-side, senior leaders are well compensated through bonuses for performance, but it's often way to hard to say "no" to work. The firm's leadership sometimes finds it difficult to make hard decisions on what NOT to pursue in terms of new business. The recent equity buy-out has "corporatized" the firm somewhat and has some staff on edge that the culture of the firm will suffer.
