Pluspunten

Pay is decent, which is why the firm attracts some top talent.

Minpunten

Work-life balance is non-existent; "never say no" when asked for help is drilled into you from orientation as a necessary part of the "collaboration culture." But in reality, it is a way to get maximum work out of employees, who are often understaffed on projects. Those who remain for years are, as a rule, workaholics. The company offers lots of options for counseling (financial, psychological) for a good reason: it works people to the point of exhaustion. Turnover is high, newly hired outsiders in management are viewed with suspicion. Competition for the good assignments/contracts is tough and political. I've been at HQ for eight months and I'm looking for the first opportunity to escape. Avoid!

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.)
