Pros

Free coffee and tea. Many training opportunities. Educational fund $5000 a year but have to pay back in full if voluntary leave the company within a year, half if leave within 18 months.

Cons

You do not have an assigned office since they want to save space. They said you suppose to work on client's site but client's site sometimes does not have room to host you. You end up to book your own office space everyday! Many company polices are changing. They do not trust anyone anymore. They have a job lead to watch over your day-to-day work. They also have on-going background check so you will be watched over your shoulder at all time. Seems like they are losing trust on their employees. New hires, watch and read carefully what you are signing.

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.
