Pros

Booz Allen is my first job out of college. I thought coming in I would be treated as the "new girl" but it has been the opposite. I have been given multiple opportunities to take on leadershiop roles within my client roles. Booz Allen has continued to make me feel like I was hired for my expertise and talent by tursting me with important deliverables and responsibilties. The company prides and itself in their hiring power and shows that with the continued respect that is shown for all the employees through recognition programs and other incentives. The company is also great if you are a young person not only because there is an insane amount of possible growth but also because you working with colleagues in your age range. Some of the best friends I have made are those I work with on a daily basis!

Cons

Booz Allen is a large company, that is not so much a downside but it does mean you need to work extra hard to network within the company. Like most companies networking is very important and Booz Allen knows this and pounds it into your head that you need to participate in activities that initiate networking. Even though it may seem tough and frustrating to go to events after you have already been working all day but Booz Allen makes it a point to plan fun and creative networking activities and events. You do get used to the size of the company, even though at the beginning you may feel intimidated by its size.

Pros

The prestige of working for Booz Allen is second to none in the world of government sector consulting and even if you're private sector, there are few more respected names. Nearly everyone who works at Booz is very proud to work there, which is a pretty nice thing morale-wise, you know that everyone there is interested in and proud of the work that we do for our clients. Its also great place to gain a lot of experience very quickly as a professional. You will meet lots of really smart people with incredibly diverse backgrounds when you are all thrown onto a team together.

Cons

I would say that the pay and opportunities for advancement are probably not the greatest in the sector. I know my initial offer was 10% below what other companies in the industry were offering me straight out of school and even after negotiation, the Booz offer was still less than the other companies around here. Also, the fact that the only people who get bonuses are the senior management is rather frustrating. One of the other peculiarities of working at Booz is that when you are working client-site full time, you will pass a lot of other Booz Allen employees and never know that they are there; the communication about what team members are where is really lacking even though they are working on developing solutions.

Pros

IT was a good envionment with nice people some of which were helpful.

Cons

The pay was bad and the work was hard and there was very little room for advancement. Now this was in the Sharepoint IT field. I did have friends that advanced very quickly but for sharepoint they had 3 people doing the work for 5 to 7 people and since we got the work done it was not cost effective to hire more people so it was stressful.
