Pluspunten

1. Probably the leading "second tier" strategy consultancy, with projects in a range of areas (e.g. strategy, marketing, operations) 2. Colleagues are more down to earth than at their main competitors (McKinsey, BCG and Bain) 3. Certain senior leaders in particular, can be impressive (a remnant of the early 80s when Booz was slightly higher in the overall strategy consulting "ranking" at leading MBA schools due to Bain's problems at that time)

Minpunten

1. Normal consulting downsides apply - hours tend to be high (60 plus would be normal and 70-80 often the norm) and travel is frequently Mon-Thurs at the client, necessitating a 5am start Mon and not returning till late Thursday evening 2. Industry coverage in certain sectors can be lower than some competitors due to a lack of critical mass in part resulting from problems re-establishing the practice areas following the dot com boom and senior staff defections 3. Brand and alumni network are slightly below the main competitors (McKinsey, Bain and BCG) - this could matter if (like most consultants) you wish to spend a couple of years there and then move on

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
