Pros

Health Care is decent, which is about it.

Cons

Within the first two months, I realized I made the worst mistake joining Booz Allen. The 401k - company only matches at year end, leaving before then you’ll lose your match. Top heavy, too many VP’s. All micromanagers. The culture is just a bunch of very angry people who work against one another rather than working as a team. Super political, people will smile at your face and spit on your name behind your back to make themselves look better. CEO only addresses the numbers, never addresses the staff for their hard work. Promotion within the company is “extremely difficult,” unless you threaten to quit or you’re favored. HR knows about the problem, but could literally care less.

Pros

Great benefits and work culture. A lot of great opportunities to network and grow in your career.

Cons

Typical consulting work type stuff. All the extra non-paid internal firm work you have to do to get noticed and promoted. It can also be difficult to find a project that aligns with your career interests and aspirations leaving you to work with a client or on a project that’s less than ideal (e.g., super demanding client, very monotonous tasking with little opportunity to grow, etc.) Since Booz Allen mainly deals with federal clients, you’re also susceptible to project funding cuts and company layoffs do to current political climate (e.g., government shutdown, idiotic DODGE cuts, etc.)
