Pros

Really smart technical people with reasonable technical management to Level 4 (Senior Associate). Reasonable benefits and pay. Promotion within technical slots good up to associate level, but nearly impossible above that.

Cons

Once you get above level 4, management becomes arrogant and self-isolating. Working for a body shop that management doesn't seem unaware is a body shop. Poor support for administrative functions. If you're looking for promotion, work/life balance is a joke. No technical track for advancement above level 3 (Associate), which seems odd for a company run by an engineer,

Pros

Pay is average for the industry.

Cons

Misrepresentation of the job during the interview process. A position was offered to me and upon joining the firm and awaiting clearance the position was given to another employee and I was advised to look else where within the firm for work. Since then I cannot find any work since Booz isn't winning many contracts and now I am potentially on the short list for lay offs. Some I know have already been laid off. They should not have hired people on the bench with promises of a career.

Pros

As some of the posts on this forum explains that your experience within the company can be either positive or negative depending on the team you are a part of. The pros are that Booz Allen is a great boost for your resume.

Cons

As they say you can only really know a company's true culture once you work in it, and I can sya that with BAH, it's all an appearance. The Core Values the company so proudly emphasizes is not even practiced by their management, who are paid high salaries for not delivering results.
