Pros

Booz has amazing work-life balance and very interesting work. I enjoyed my time here, but the last few months since the US administration change has caused tons of uncertainty. Booz has top-notch benefits and professional development. The culture feels a bit "faceless corporate", but everyone I've met is knowledgeable, kind, and willing to help. Awesome OCONUS opportunities.

Cons

The bench time for tech workers was historically long (3-6 months from my POV) before they give you a separation letter when I first got here, but now I'm seeing tech workers being given a severance letter same-day a contract was killed. The bench is currently full of good skilled workers who can't find contracts. Booz was also very pro-remote, but this changed as well with remote positions dropping to near-nothing. The bench used to be a place where you can sit moderately comfortable while looking for a new job and up-skilling. Now, it's very uncomfortable and we weren't allowed to do any sort of training/up-skilling in preparation for a new job. DEI got dropped like a lead brick in the ocean. They're still hiring the best people available, but not using any of those words in DEI

Pros

The paycheck is pretty high

Cons

The government is crumbling around us, and BAH is more than happy to delete any equity language off the website to please the new administration. Leadership says one thing and does another.

Pros

Decent place to work. Feels fairly standard. Benefits mostly seem pretty solid, and their lowest tier of healthcare is actually FREE, as in no money out of your paycheck. That's a pretty cool model.

Cons

Requisitions for software take forever. I needed a certain software to do my job and it took ~2 months to get it approved and acquired. As far as 401k matching, they vest their matchings on a year-by-year basis, all at once on the 31st of December. Meaning if you leave on Christmas, pretty much an entire year's worth of matching goes down the tubes. To me, that sounds like a gotcha-tactic to save a couple of figurative pennies and indicates bad faith.. I could work at the place for 20 years and they'd still try to keep up to a year's worth of matching, no matter what. Eventually employees are going to catch on and you'll end up with mass annual exoduses on New Year's day. It's a scummy practice in my opinion. As far as pay, I'm personally paid waay under-market. Asking for a raise doesn't seem to be yielding anything for myself and a few others, so I'm sadly looking elsewhere for competitive pay. Titles seem to be a liiittle bit inflated here as well, but I could be wrong.
