Pros of working at Booz Allen Hamilton

I was a Learning and Development facilitator, and I enjoyed the staff members that were in my classes. I enjoyed the diversity.

Cons of working at Booz Allen Hamilton

Corporate politics - Like any big corporation, assignments and promotions were dependent on who you knew. There was very little promoting from within. Also the senior level management misrepresented the company "values," paying only lip service to them. The entire culture changed after the company went public.

Booz Allen Hamilton benefits

Before the company went public, they invested in the employees and were interested in their job satisfaction. Divisions routinely had off-site retreats, social events and professional development for employees. After they were acquired, all of those disappeared and the focus become billable hours and staff reduction.

Pros of working at Booz Allen Hamilton

The diverse backgrounds and experiences of my coworkers. I felt challenged in almost everything I did.

Cons of working at Booz Allen Hamilton

Work/life balance was not important to the firm. It was commonly expected for mid and senior level personnel to work seven days per week, including 8-10 hour days on weekends and holidays. Being successful meant sacrificing family time.

Booz Allen Hamilton benefits

The overall benefits package was competitive. While pay was fair, it was rarely near the average for industry. However, health and ECAP were good.

Pros of working at Booz Allen Hamilton

Enjoyed working with a lot of talented colleagues and having an opportunity to help our clients through a variety of challenges.

Cons of working at Booz Allen Hamilton

Bait and switch when hired for a strategy role and then, once hired, was expected to perform a completely different role. From my experience, optics tend to prevail as the ultimate aim rather than serving the clients. Business development and proposal writing becomes a 2nd full time job as well, so be aware when you sign up.
