      Pros

      You get a lot of autonomy in your work, allowing you to be creative and come up with more innovative solutions. The company also encourages you to think entrepreneurially and provides resources to develop new ideas.

      Cons

      The firm does not have a very clear promotion path. Each person is different and it is important that each consultant take firm control over their career. If you don't, then it is easy to fall into the cracks.

      Booz Allen Hamilton is still a strong brand...but for how much longer?

      Pros

      Brand Recognition - Love or hate Booz, the brand is well recognized and having it on your resume adds to increase personal market value QA/QC Processes - No matter what your functional expertise, part of the branding requires that QA/QC is in the forefront of everything one delivers, to the point that it becomes second nature Reach back capabilities - You can find someone who knows the answer to any question. The informal and formal communications work very efficiently, and because collaboration is recognized, staff is highly participatory.

      Cons

      Career Growth stalled - The firm's structure makes it necessary for staff to remain at the same level for long periods of time. Competition for Level IIIs (Associates) is intense as they make 50% of the staff and the transition to Level IV is extremely limited. Preferential treatment for Boozers come promotion time - Coming from industry, one can immediately spot those people who have always worked in the Booz Allen Hamilton environment, and it appears that institutional knowledge is so greatly valued as to outweight merit and any other competency when it is time to build a business case for promotion. Work Culture makes it difficult to find work-life balance - no matter how many accolades the firm gets (e.g. best employer for working moms, etc) the reality is that the culture is not flexible to permit staff to take advantage of policies and programs instituted by the firm.
