Business Outlook

Pros

Great reachback capability to support clients -- I can access individuals who are subject matter experts in many technical and managerial disciplines.

Cons

The firm can be a little weird in talking to you about salary determination. If you allow yourself to get hired cheap, it will be hard to make up for that in future annual payraises even with excellent performance reviews. Significant discrepancies in pay from team-to-team even for individuals with very similar resumes.

Pros

Great recognition for working with a respected company like Booz Allen. Career Mobility is possible if you know the right people, it's all about networking here. Looks great on a resume and can build great experience to take elsewhere.

Cons

Slow professional growth compared to smaller firms, breaking into management is a Herculean feat. I've noticed senior management doesn't work very hard and relies on a work horses underneath them, mainly going to lunches and meetings with clients, not exactly a rough life.
