Booz Allen Hamilton reviews

D.C. Area traffic is pretty rough... Actually, traffic down here is pretty much always crazy.

Men have to wear suits all the time. It’s a very conservative environment. Your primary client is the DoD which is far behind the times and there is incompetence everywhere, which causes you more frustration than satisfaction. You often wonder why your taxes are paying these people wages (both civ and non-civ). The people that you find that are proactive have been beaten down by the system. To advance in you will need to bring business which will be difficult if you were not in the military and say goodbye to work/life balance. If you don't perform, they will let you go. It is not your typical defense contractor. Employee recognition has taken a big hit since going public. The years of getting iPods, sunglasses, and happy hours in the office are over. The Carlyle Group is slowing killing the morale and working environment by making the company go public.
