Pros

- Free Coffee -Name on your resume

Cons

- Highly Corrupt and unethical company. Booz is currently under investigation by SEC and DOJ. Look it up!! - Hiring practice are awlful here. Ask who the client is and where is the job location and length of contract during an interview, they. BAH hires people in huge numbers to bid for a contract and then lays them off if they don't win the contract. They are highly manipulative and certainly this company is not seasonal IT Engineer. You will be treated very badly and then kicked out. -BAH business model is to hire a top executive(mostly GS-15 and above) from Govt and use their help to bid for contracts. If you want to see SWAMPS, booz has many. Hire people in loads in hope of winning a contract and then discard them if lost. -This company has serious unethical and equal opportunity violations. If you are a MINORITY stay away from this company.The management looks down on minority/people of color in a condescending way. -There is systemic discrmination against woman mostly older woman. Younger woman are expected to spread their legs for promotion and pay raise. -Again, if you are an IT Engineer in any form, do not join this company. There are several great technology firm in this DMV and BAH is just a body shop company for the govt. They will hire you for 35$/hr and sell you to the govt for 150$/hr.

Pros

Certain well-managed private contracts truly provide a decent opportunity to grow your skill set and connect with client needs. You may get lucky and meet a few dedicated and incredibly intelligent individuals.

Cons

Requirement to submit to 24/7 background investigations regardless of position or access-level with an additional 24/7 credit and financial distress monitoring investigation required if you obtain any level of secret clearance (required for many positions at BAH) or become a senior level associate or above. This is not done for the government, but by other companies contracted by BAH to report the information directly to them. File for divorce? Booz Allen now knows. Take out a loan to pay for medical bills? Booz Allen now knows. They also, as an unexplained policy, will keep any information they gather about you for 7 years after your employment ends. This is the maximum amount of time allowed under the law and is by all means optional. They could just as easily destroy the information upon your resignation. This is also all being contracted to a private investigation firm with long histories of leaking data they've collected. Extremely underpaid compared to other positions in the same job market. Management does not seem to listen to complaints about job security concerns. They will flatly lie to you and tell you that no one will lose their job if a contract expires and then proceed to lay people off once it does.
