      Good company, strong culture, not perfect

      Pros

      Booz Allen offers excellent compensation and fringe benefits such as 10% automatic 401k contributions. Booz has a strong corporate culture around delivering quality work. Interpersonal relationships are stressed as a matter of culture and most Booz Allen employees are well networked and easy to get along with.

      Cons

      Booz Allen is not a company where the status quo is tolerated. If you are looking for a 9 to 5 desk job, Booz Allen is not your company. You will be asked to work hard and often outside of normal hours (fairly standard for a consulting firm). Booz Allen is fairly consistent in its corporate culture but team dynamic will vary between teams based on individual management personalities (which can be bad in some places). If you are hired on the low range of your salary pay band it is sometimes difficult to catch up to the average unless your manager is willing to give you a market rate adjustment. Booz Allen tends to hire Type-A personalities and this sometimes this leads to conflict because everyone tends to be very competitive.

      Booz Allen promotions seem to be unfair and unrelated to performance in certain teams.

      Pros

      I have been with the firm over 3 years now and I have been happy with the actual work that I do for the client. I think that the quality of your experience at Booz relies greatly on the team on which you work, which leads me to my complaints below.

      Cons

      The level at which you are brought into this firm seems to have no rhyme of reason to it - I have seen several people brought in from the outside and placed in leadership positions over and ahead of those who have been here for some time and have received outstanding performance evaluations. These new hires do not have resumes to justify this leapfrogging over the personnel who have been working so hard. Clearly, the quality of the work you do does not always equal success. There also seems to be no way to rectify this problem because despite the push to have mentors within the firm, you will soon find that any complaints you make about your team's leadership will be passed along to them and you will pay for trying to find a solution to your concerns.

      Pros

      When people hear you work for Booz Allen in the DC area, they automatically know you work for a prestigious consulting firm. Their benefits are nice, especially the fact that BAH contributes 10 percent of your salary to a retirement account without the need to match their contribution. The young environment makes it easy for young people to meet others like them with similar interests if they are able to visit BAH facilities frequently. Those stuck 100 percent on client site might not have this same experience.

      Cons

      Client service is a big part of the BAH culture and sometimes late nights are warranted and other times they are not. Managers, in my opinion, need to do a better job of managing client expectations when it comes to unreasonable requests late in the night. Compensation seems to be lower than average among the other consulting companies in the DC area. Negotiating salary when coming into BAH seems to be a good method of getting paid more fairly but generally friends at other consulting firms with the same or less experience than me seem to be getting paid a lot more.
