Great Place for the Self Starter

Associate

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

If you're looking for a place where you can punch the clock and earn your stripes on tenure, Booz Allen is not for you. If you're looking for a place where you can blaze your own path to success, you've found your place. Salaries are excellent, as are benefits and vacation packages. Emphasis on work/life balance.

Cons

50% of staff are located at client site, and one can start to feel disconnected from the rest of the organization when offsite. 401k plan, while excellent, takes 5 years to fully vest.

Booz: A Great Place to Work but Has Room for Improvement

Senior consultant

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

There are lots of opportunities to grow within the company. If you don't like what you are currently doing then there are plenty of other places to move to.

Cons

I do not like the annual 360 degree work performance assessment system. It's too long, too complicated, and the annual presentation that defines what kind of raise or promotion you receive is done by someone else. How would you like to have an entire year's work summarized by an idiot? This system favors people who work at a regional or home office. If you work at a remote client site you will not do as well as you should.

Experience varies by team

Pros

It all depends on the group you work with. I had one phenomenal experience and another truly terrible experience.

Cons

The team you work with really determines and in some cases limits your experience
