      Pros

      Stable place to work over the long term. Good benefits package. Smart and decent people working here in many cases. The networking opportunities are excellent.

      Cons

      Lots of red tape. Like a collection of small businesses competing against each other. Be prepared to have your wings clipped and used by your boss. Like any company, there are lots of ways for management to control the workforce- fear seems to be a terrific method for Booz leadership.

      Pros

      Their pay and benefits is very good. They provided good tuition assistance and encourage career development.

      Cons

      They are a large company and can't always find the right fit for you. I waited for a long time for them to find the position I fit into best, but they could never find the right fit for me. I would still enjoy working for Booz Allen in the future if they found something that was a better fit for me.

      Unrivaled work/life balance, but slow rise to the top if you are not a retired military officer.

      Pros

      #1: Flexibility and work/life balance - as long as you are not tied to a project requiring 100% on-client-site work, you daily schedule and work location are very flexible. It is normal for many folks to work several hours a day from home in the mornings/evenings to either avoid traffic or take their kids to/from school. While the minimum work week is technically 40 hours, the firm business model requests employees average 42 hours/week -- far less than the average consulting firm. #2: High quality co-workers - BAH has a fine tradition of recruiting top-notch individuals. There is a great sense of corporate pride. #3: Training and professional growth benefits - employees get 40 hours per year for training.

      Cons

      The continuous increase in hiring of former military members seems to be turning BAH into a quasi-government organization, where rank is still worn and recognized. So many military retirees in senior leadership positions is turning BAH from a meritocracy into a time-in-grade / time-in-service seniority-based system. This not only impedes professional growth opportunities for high-speed young professionals, but will serve to dilute the firm's corporate intellectual capital as young, energetic problem-solvers leave the firm to find more fair advancement opportunities at competitor firms who value ingenuity and performance over how long they've been around the firm. Quality folks will not stay long when told that they "exceed competencies for their level but are too young to be promoted."
