Pros
Excellent benefits with varied choices for medical insurance, tailored to your needs. Annual bonus of up to 10% of pay submitted to your 401k. Work/life balance is always a concern of management. Excellent support for education and knowledge advancement with many opportunities to expand your knowledge and earn industry certifications.
Cons
If you are used to a traditional government contracting environment, this may not be for you. While traditional government contracting positions are plentiful in this location, the business environment heavily leans toward Booz Allen's traditional consulting business. This means you will be expecting to operate in more of a consulting capacity, not just the technical ones you may be used to. So business/program management experience will come in handy, regardless of how technical the project you are working on. Work assignments are catch as catch can. Be prepareed to use your real-life social networking schools to get assigned on to the choice projects. If you wait for an assignment from your superiors, you will most likely be a checkmark on a preadsheeet, filling a position you may not be terribly interested or excited about. There is no matching on 401k. All you get is the up to 10% profit sharing bonus, and this does not kick in until you have been there for two years. Full vesting does not occur for five years. Most defense contractors in the area offer more attractive 401k matching funds, so this may be a concern for you.
