Pros

- Excellent resume material - Average (although diminishing) benefits package and pay scale - Interesting assignments and a variety of clients - Talented coworkers

Cons

- The culture has shifted from client service and excellence to short term financial management and billable hours. - Staff are hired as "least technically qualified / lowest cost." - The assessment system focuses on the wrong metrics - not everyone is a busniess developer. You need hard working technical staff and functional experts. - There are way too many senior leaders who are out of touch with the client base and only serve as gate keepers and manage through powerpoint. Quarterly Management Reviews are largely group think and self-agrandizement sessions. - Overpriced, and not worth it.

Pros

The company has good name recognition and the client I support is interesting. Probably wouldn't recommend a friend to the company based on annual reviews.

Cons

Annual reviews are excruiating at best. To make matters worse, management has decided on your promote/non-promote prior to anything being turned in...yet you are dinged if you do not play along in the futile exercise and complete the 'optional' (read mandatory) self assessment.

Pros

- Amazing people you get to work with, truly some of the best I've met in my career - Offers good employee training resources and a good yearly stipend to spend on training and certs

Cons

- Upper management went completely quiet during the 2025 federal budget cuts and then without any warning, fired 3,000 people after a record revenue year - Recently a massive loss of culture that used to make BAH feel different than other consulting companies - Very difficult to get promoted, and no bonus structure for anyone under Senior Associate - The severance package was atrociously bad and the severance process was horrible
