Pros

Good reputation (although not sure how long that will last); benefits are fine although little time off

Cons

I have never been at a job where I am more disrespected on a continual basis. The Senior Associates in my group treat people like garbage; they have been blatantly condescending, rude, and abusive and more than once I've seen them act completely unethical to feed their own egos. I am jumping ship in a few weeks and I can't wait to be at a normal place where I'm valued as a human being. The bottom line for management is making money regardless of the quality of work we give to our clients or what is best for the client. Egos are put before the client continually; I can't imagine that the Booz reputation will stay in tact with all of the infighting that goes on here. People say whatever they want to get what they want - and these folks often get ahead. I see in recent reviews that people are writing the salary is good; maybe Booz has gotten better in this area. I came in a with a salary about 10-15k lower than other big consulting firms but was ok with that since money wasn't my number one priority. After one year I got a cost of living increase which my managers said was a 'raise'. My friends in government make more than I do.

Pros

Strong mission-focused culture with meaningful work supporting national security missions. Great exposure to diverse projects, talented teammates, flexible work arrangements, and opportunities to develop skills across security, intelligence, cyber, and consulting. Benefits and professional development resources are solid.

Cons

The company culture and employee experience have changed significantly in recent years. Earlier years felt more mission-focused and employee-centered, while recent organizational shifts, government spending pressures, and increased emphasis on becoming a technology-focused company have created uncertainty for some employees. Frequent changes in priorities, restructuring, and business decisions can make job stability feel less predictable. Employees may sometimes feel disconnected from leadership, and concerns raised through HR or management channels do not always appear to result in meaningful action or transparency.
