You are 'safe' from being fired if you are on client site full time - Anonymous employee Booz Allen Hamilton Employee Review

Pros

401K, 5K tuition reimbursement per year, easy client work (this is a con too)

Cons

I've been with the company for 7.5 years now and remember the days when there was pride in being known as a "Boozer" because we really distinguished ourselves from our competitors. Now that the firm sold out to Carlyle Group, we are just another government contracting company. Also, you are only 'safe' from being laid off if you are full billable at the client site or support enough clients to get next to 100% billable hours. I had to relocate to a different part of the country in order to remain billable and not get laid off. Several of my coworkers got laid off or voluntarily left because they were not near 100% billable utilization and getting stressed out about being laid off. Depending on the client, the work can be pretty boring. We have truly become a "butts in seats" contractor company. I miss the old Booz Allen Hamilton company...back when we were actual consultants!

Pros

Strong mission-focused culture with meaningful work supporting national security missions. Great exposure to diverse projects, talented teammates, flexible work arrangements, and opportunities to develop skills across security, intelligence, cyber, and consulting. Benefits and professional development resources are solid.

Cons

The company culture and employee experience have changed significantly in recent years. Earlier years felt more mission-focused and employee-centered, while recent organizational shifts, government spending pressures, and increased emphasis on becoming a technology-focused company have created uncertainty for some employees. Frequent changes in priorities, restructuring, and business decisions can make job stability feel less predictable. Employees may sometimes feel disconnected from leadership, and concerns raised through HR or management channels do not always appear to result in meaningful action or transparency.
