Booz Allen Hamilton reviews

-The work is significantly more staff augmentation than actual consulting. Rarely does the work focus on solving a problem, it is mostly about occupying a seat for the government and shuffling whatever paper comes across your desk. -Promotions and salaries are arbitrary, very political, and not merit-based. My only meaningful promotions and raises were given when I went out to another company and got a better offer and brought it back. -Leadership is focused on sales, not developing people - they are very willing to let some sit in a role for years on the same contract, rather than try to maximize their value by aligning their skillset to the work -Leadership maintains heavy control over the people they hire, even after the employee has moved on to another contract - people at Booz refer to this as leaders 'building their pyramid'. -People who want to advance are required to work off-hours on contracts, often resulting in people working 100+ hour weeks for months with little chance of actually getting promoted.

Low wages, hard for people of color, they don't welcome diversity the way they claim too, hard to get a promotion, managers/ leadership are focused on the bottom line, not your professional growth, LOTS of office politics, LOTS of small cliques (especially in the Atlanta, GA office), if you don't fit the BAH mold then you're gone.
