Pros

There are a handful of little perks that come with the job: monthly chance to win free tickets to major events, liberal telework policy, city appeal (for those who like that).

Cons

Booz Allen completely lacks any opportunities that are meaningful, challenging, or innovative. A large percentage of the work is staff augmentation, which is miserable. Almost all of their projects are things that the client is too lazy to do themselves. There is no actually need for Booz Allen, they exist and thrive out of the mere convenience of their clients and nothing more. Also, Booz Allen is extraordinarily cheap.

Pros

Fantastic client, many great and motivated worker bees. Booz Allen Hamilton culture, as I learned it at orientation and interacting with people elsewhere, is superb. But instead of orientation, there is now online training, and the culture does not reach the IMAG team.

Cons

Upper management has no software development experience. One bad manager has driven out a TON of senior people, and upper management buys his lies unquestioningly. Workplace went from wonderful offices to giant cube farm with no storage. I worked at the IRS call center and had more storage than what they have now. Loud and many many people in each room.In three years there I never saw a promotion from Associate to Lead Associate; instead they repeatedly drove out the higher paid associates and hired Lead Associates with no software or game development backgrounds. Booz people on other teams (and in other cities) seem much better than IMAG, all because of management. More than one former employee (in the "loop") has told me it's far worse than I saw. My review is of the IMAG team specifically, not the company as a whole. First time I've lost a job with more than one year in with no notice and no severance; they'll screw you on the way out. Booz as a whole allows employees time for self-development, but everyone on the IMAG team must be 100% billable, even making up time from marketing trips.

Pros

A great name on your resume. Heaven for the principals.

Cons

Old Booz is gone and will never come back. It's a revolving door with a charge code. If the consultant has no charge code then he/she will get a lack of work notice and get kicked out in heart beat. Many consultants get hired and spend on the average a year and then out with no mercy or consideration for having families or kids at home. OLE Boys Clubs everywhere and if the consultant is unable to join any of those clubs he/she will never be able to join a project.
