Horrific work environment.

Pros

There are simply no pros to working here.

Cons

The worst work environment I've ever experienced. Management, especially female management, is completely inept, manipulative, has no technical capacity, and bullies its employees. The work environment is a cramped and loud lab. The retention rate is atrocious. Most folks leave well short of two years, with some folks having left within a month. Almost all these departures are due to management's treatment of employees and complete technical ineptitude. Folks simply hate working here. The fact that Booz Allen continues to allow this branch to operate, certainly under its current management, reflects horribly on the company as a whole.

Proceed with Caution!

Pros

Most people that work within your team are great. Everyone is eager to succeed and works well together.

Cons

Leadership is blood thirsty and always out to get more money from the clients (Feds) If you don't eat, breathe sleep the Booz Allen core values you will find yourself isolated and on a PIP! Career managers are out for their career success not yours-dont be fooled, the guidance given will build their portfolio and leave you in the dust. Growth comes to those who are willing to sell their soul. I was horrified by the management and leadership's lack of ethics. I saw first hand managers scream and name call at team members without any corrective action. I also witnessed false claims made against team members to security personnel in an effort to get someone fired. BAH is less of a company and more of a cult-run away.

Pros

Company will hire you making lots of fake promises

Cons

I was hired by Booz in San Antonio, and was promised lots. I came in as an experienced candidate, but the pay was horrendous, far less than any company was paying me. If you get some training, then if u leave the farm which I plan to have to refund the money WTF. Good luck getting employees
