Slow and Steady. If you love government cheese you will love this!!!!

Management consulting senior associate

Pros

Steady and not too demanding. I have worked in Silicon Valley and working for BAH is like working for the gov't slow and steady. Things move at a glacial pace comparatively. Good balance of work and life. Many people have complained about the balance yet most of them have not worked in the real world. Very secure.... Salary is not that great compared to others but you have to really screw up to get fired.

Cons

Alot of overhead and deadwood. Need to create better accountability for Profit and Loss. Too many level 5's that don't truly have a business case. This year's pay pool is joke. If wasn't for the bad economy people would walk. But I guess we need to pay Carlisle back their money. In CA if your program is killed you have 2 weeks to find a job and then you are terminated. Other BAH offices are very good keeping people employed.

Good opportunities, if you are willing to sacrifice work life balance.

Pros

Good opportunities for growth. The firm really puts a lot of time and energy into the employee review process and holds managers accountable for developing their staff. The feedback from the reviews are helpful in identifying growth areas and are tailored for your own career goals.

Cons

Work life balance can be hard to achieve, especially for senior staff members. Also, it is becoming harder to maintain the same culture as the firm has grown and senior management has become more distant.

Pros

Booz is a very prestiguous firm to work at. There are a lot of smart people who work here and the firm brand is well recognized.

Cons

It really depends what team you are on. Some managers are supportive and respectful and some are not. If you have a good mentor, it's a great place to work.
