Booz Allen Hamilton reviews

Horrendous working conditions: 15 of us were crammed into a room meant for 5 people for 8 hours a per day. Awful Management: The main reason I quit, managers were not only toxic, but refused to train up junior employees and allow them to grow (when I brought this to their attention, they just said they were too busy to train me). Managers were consistently condescending, belittling, and petty. When I brought these issues up the HR, they just made the problem worse. Lack of opportunities: Good luck finding a data science project without a high level security clearance. IT COST ME OVER 10000 BUCKS JUST TO QUIT!!! Company gives you flex dollars. The money deceptively isn't yours. If you spend Flex Dollars and quit within 2 years, then you have to pay back everything. About $6000 flex dollars were spent voluntarily, these I'm not angry about. However, my manager forced me to use flex dollars for training and certifications. My managers forced me to spend 4000 dollars that weren't mine, to take courses and get certifications I was not too keen on getting. Essentially, they forced me to be indebted to the company, and work it off, very very scummy practices. Complete lack of recognition: I won an entire competition on behalf of BAH, and the VP didn't even congratulate me by name, or simply say thank you for going out of my way to bolster the image of the company. Disgustingly Low Pay: For a data scientist, I was easily able to get 20% more than I was making at BAH. They pay you like garbage, far below what you're worth with pitiful raises each year (mine wasn't even 1%). In short: work somewhere else. The prestigious title isn't worth your time or dignity.

Management doesn't listen to employees when they present safety issues and/or the don't give you options which projects you are assigned. Management doesn't understand skillsets of its employees and just throws them on to meet SLA's.
