Pros

I'm always proud to say I work for Booz Allen. In my 2 years working at BAH I have had very good experiences and at time when most companies are laying people off and cancelling holiday parties BAH is still going strong. I find that the morale is usually high and my BAH collegues are all high achievers. I like the 360 degree review process, where not only your supervisor reviews you but also your collegues and clients. We are also evaluated on how we give back to the company (although some may think this is a con, because it would require them to do things outside their normal work day). I have always been a believer that what you get out of something depends on what you put into it....and this is exactly what BAH is about. BAH gives the opportunity for an employee to name their own price, to name their own level.

Cons

Booz Allen is not for everyone. There is a certain "fit" for Booz Allen. From what I've seen, people who don't fit in with the core values of the company tend not to have a very good experience. Employees that do well here usually like a challenging work environment and like to participate in the extra-curricular work and activities, social networking events, brown bag lunches, training opportunities...etc

Pros

Working with bright, talented people in diverse, ever-changing environments is a significant plus. Being deeply involved in your client, the team and the work is the best part of the Accenture experience. Corporate offices are all world-class, and consistently well-appointed worldwide. The reservation program for office space, due to the transient nature of it's employees, de-stratifies executive level perception. In other words, managers, sr. managers & sr. execs occupy the same office-type based on an online reservation system. While there is some priority assigned to executive levels by rank when resources are constrained, managers and Sr. Executives often occupy neighboring offices - which aid in networking with all levels of management.

Cons

Onboarding experienced hires - especially in Outsourcing - is experimental - or hit & miss at best. For a firm that has tremendous strength in its methodologies for service delivery, the ramping process is not fitting to the level of respect the Accenture marquis generally commands. In my experience, some tenured management, that is, Partners that have been on board during the Andersen days, tend to view experienced hires as inferior and less-than-worthy. While not all are in this category - I've met, worked with and admire many 'lifers' that are very respectful and inquisitive of the varied backgrounds and intellectual asset value experienced hires bring to the table. In my scenario, there were, however, a couple very senior folks that were just impossible to work with (20+ years tenure) - as they had no idea how to associate with younger management types that strived to contribute and make their own mark. Oddly enough, this very phenomenon was articulated quite well in a Wetfeet publication I purchased to guide me through the hiring process. In hindsight, it was spot on. While this was an unpleasant experience, it's not typical of the organization. Accenture is a progressive company, and while there is immeasurable value in the executives that have one-liner resumes extending back to when the company was a private firm (pre-2001), Accenture executive leadership generally recognizes that there is equal value in talent that hasn't been steeped in decades-old Kool-Aid. But be warned - individual experience may vary.
