Pros

With the expanding federal government, the opportunities as a government consultant will grow in step. There are a lot of diverse projects to get involved with, if your manager supports you.

Cons

The firm is deploying much more of its consultants to the client site. While this makes completing projects easier, it makes it difficult to develop relationships within the local Booz Allen office, conflicting with the firm's emphasis that its consultants build large networks.

Pros

you will enjoy it if you work with good manager/team. Need to be extroverted. Introverted people have harder time

Cons

pay is so so, they quote work life balance but it really just depends what team that you are on

Pros

-If you land a good manager and/or a good project you can definitely learn a lot! -Great People -Steady Work -Good name to have on the resume, especially in the DC area and govt contracting industry -Safe place to be -Benefits are standard, however the perks (i.e. softball league) are outstanding -If you're interested in govt contracting this is the place to be!

Cons

-If you land a bad manager and/or a bad project you can be sitting on the bench for a long period of time or stuck on a long term project learning very little. -HR/Recruiting is horrible! This is true as a potential employee and an actual employee. Hands down the worst in the area. -No central resource staffing group meaning employees are responsible for finding their own project work. This can prove difficult as Level 4 incentives are misaligned when it comes to staffing projects. -Low pay (due to the Booz Allen name) -Because of the size you can often feel like a cog in the machine -Too much of a hierarchy - folks at 5 and 6 are ex-military folks who are only there for their connections and do little else than look down on 1s, 2s and 3s. -A general "old school" and static feel
