Booz Allen Hamilton reviews

Sitting at a Client site makes it difficult to connect with the corporate side of BAH and leadership does not make an effort to keep the company culture alive. BAH makes it incredibility difficult to recieve pay raises or attain promotions and routinly underpays early career individuals. There is no clear path to promotion and goal posts are often moved. There is also a tendarcy for leadership to promote employees that they work with on a regular basis. If you dont work directly with leadership you will likely be underpaid and passed up for promotion yearly. At times it will seem that people recieve promotions to management but do equal or less work that consultants and senior consultants. Promotions are usually reserved for high visibilty, client facing positions.

Bottom line: if numbers are not met...your out. They really don't care. They say they do but it's not true. The Principals, VP's, SVP and EVP's just want their yearly bonus money and don't care if you leave/lose your job. You are replaceable and they will continue to get a bonus. If you end up on a PIP, they give you unrealistic goals to meet to get you out so they don't have to fire or pay you to leave. It's all about looking good in the public eye.
