Pros

1. Flexibility (sometimes). Contracts are varied depending on what group you are hired to. However, your preference on work is not taken into consideration if ther is a contract that needs filled. 2. Remote work on some contracts. Government contracts usually not 3. Facilities are nice 4. Promotion is easy if you are competent but pay raises are not competitive

Cons

1. Middle management is not good. There are a lot of hard working junior employees that are stifled by ineffective middle management. They leave 2. Booz Allen is a butts in seats organization. They do not vet candidates well and you are left with dysfunctional teams 3. Nobody has a technical background and they do not know how to utilize technical employees well. This means either overwork or underwork. No middle ground. 4. If you are a junior employee, you have little say in the contracts you are placed on. 5. Booz Allen's reputation is in decline which means dissatisfied clients and loss of contracts.

Pros

Friendly coworkers and knowledgeable middle management.

Cons

The Sr management of their pricing department is terrible. It is common to get phone calls without warning late at night and on weekends requiring you to log on for the rest of the day and into the night, and being able to log off at 5 almost never happens. In addition to this, they continue to add more bureaucracy to the work which you can be reprimanded for not correctly following.

Pros

None, will leave at the earliest opportunity

Cons

Mandatory 8 hour daily billable policy encourages fraud and strips employee’s (with family) ability to flex their hours. Leadership talk a big game but really only care about their bonus and profits. Claim work life balance is important but don’t trust you to manage your hours. Nepotism is rampant. Bunch of “boozers” with zero experience outside of Booz Allen making decisions. Don’t even give employees the Friday of thanksgiving off even though clients are not working (basically fraud because we still billing to clients on federal holiday). Use firm meetings to parade people of color but will do little to create a professional environment. Education benefit is honestly pathetic (like I said, Booz Allen only cares about profit).
