Pros

The company employees very talented people and they really do try to make life better within the office's of BAH through use of fun-time committees. Offices that I've been to are nice,

Cons

There are a lot of downsides to BAH, I don't want to come off as bitter so I'll try to be factual. As the nature of contracting and resources working at customer sites, it's very difficult to feel that the organization cares at all about the off-site employee. The "hoteling" and open office environment are contributing to the deterioration of moral. As benefits increase BAH makes an effort to keep insurance costs down but they're in the trends as other organizations and just offer awful medical plans unless you'd like to spend $600 per month for the family. The only way to advance within BAH is the person above you has to leave in some fashion...wooden box, new opportunity externally or relocation for another opportunity. Transfers internal to the company are lateral at best therefore no upward mobility unless you make your own contract and prove invaluable to the revenue of the organization. Please I hope this is read before relocating to the greater Patuxent River area as its really a great place if you DON'T have kids and enjoy boating as that's really all to do. There is very little to nothing to do other than a few good bars. Really read the other reviews before committing.

Pros

Friendly work environment, flexible hours, very rarely have to work over 40 hours a week, competitive pay, competitive PTO

Cons

Booz Allen will hire individuals without a position in mind and force them immediately on to the bench. This means that after hiring, they have to conduct more interviews and networking for an “internal job search”, which I feel is disrespectful and not professional. It also means that the interviewers and hiring staff will not know what you will be doing which may result in being mislead about the true nature of your position. However the bench is very nice for existing employees who have a contract ended, allowing them to find a new one without being laid off. Health care could be more competitive. Very high deductible for what you pay. Finally, the company is attempting to transition to a technology company, which doesn’t seem to be going well.
