Pros

Great benefits, great community involvement, company loves people with advanced degrees.

Cons

The team/manager you work for can make or break how you feel about working here. Some teams don't believe in comp time - i.e, if you work 16 hours on a weekend, don't expect to get any comp time...maybe 1 or 2 hours. Working extra hours is expected to keep your billabilty rate high. Some women in sr. mgmt have control issues.....are more caught up in the details rather than the end result)...more so than men. (I'm female, btw).

Pros

Booz Allen has done a smart job of documenting and structuring the firm. The way the business side is run can be very personality driven as each partner controls their own business. But the people side is pretty good (though personalities obviously vary by team). HR is responsive, collaboration is understood as a key to good business, management is generally willing to be transparent and communicative. Professional advancement is encouraged and cultivated.

Cons

Professional advancement is not always encouraged and cultivated with the employees broader goals in mind. You have to be very pro-active in knowing what you want and vocalizing that. Otherwise they are going to look at the experience you have and put you where it works for the business, not for you. The culture is on the conservative side, most people still wear at least a tie, many a suit. That shouldn't be a surprise, it's a client facing business that deals with the government and the military so they are inclined to present a particular image.
