Pros

The benefits are good, the work is easy, the salary is pretty high. Managers seem very open to supporting and encouraging a work/life balance

Cons

No thought given to matching ability level and experience with work given; employees seem to be used on an as-needed basis and management doesn't seem thoughtful about how they treat employees. I feel completely disrespected, while praised lavishly for accomplishing tasks that my dog could probably do pretty easily. Mind-numbing work.

Pros

- work/life balance (especially if you're not on client site) is great. Telecommuting from home while sick is fine. Having to leave during the day for doctor's appts & going home afterwards -great benefits (match 10% of your salary after 1 year and 5 years is fully vested so you walk away with free money) - minimum is 15 PTO days, 2 floating holidays, & 9 federal holidays. PTO days go up as you move in level & tenure - Loves to train (ex: you get paid to study for your certificaiton by taking training days) - Offices (not cubicles, you share it with 1 other person so get a cool person) Window offices are for level 3+. - Pro: They pay pretty well. Con: only if you ask for it. Make sure you research what your skill sets/strengths/position is "worth" in the market and don't be afraid to ask. They don't feel the need to go overboard and reward you with raises/promotions unless you specifically state you are going for it.

Cons

- Colleagues can be a little more older and less likely to socialize or really get involved with the firm's initatives (this can be boring for younger/junior employees who have more energy) -On-boarding process for new campus hires or experienced hires is HORRIBLE. -Middle Management sometimes needs coaching/mentoring b/c they are not the super managerial starts like upper mgmt can be.

Pros

Booz Allen is a good place to begin a career and to grow your areas of interest by being involved in Communities of Practice. Hello.bah.com is a fantastic internal resource to connect with BAH staff internally that have the same interests that you do. It is a great resource to find who you can potentially partner with on reachback support, for a mentor, or to network.

Cons

The Organization and Strategy Strategic Communication DHS market team leadership does not reach out to their administrative team members. Further, they do not assist their team members with developing careers or moving to different projects. Leadership seems to be leading themselves in this market as opposed to their staff.
