Pros

The internship was completed during my sophomore year in college. Compared to other students, the pay was pretty decent for 40 hours a week. They were extremely lenient on taking days off, which was a plus during the summer. The firm is very prestigious and well know among the industry and access to senior executives was very easy (often had lunches with partners whom worked down the hall). The work was interesting and there are always events for interns such as a trip to DC, BBQs, trips to see Nationals play, crab feast, etc.

Cons

The security clearance is a problem. It takes 3-4 months for each polygraph so unless you were hired early on and passed on the first try (many take more than once to pass), you may be stuck doing unbillable work which is not nearly as exciting or important as billable work. Fortunately, you still get paid the same.

Pros

-The general mgmt group has some very smart people in it. - The BAH name still carries some cache. - The team wins some very interesting projects

Cons

- if you perform well, they will work you into the ground. - very poor work life balance - Have slackened the hiring requirements recently, lowering the overall quality of the people and putting more pressure on the dwindling few good ones.

Pros

Great Benefits, great pay. Consistent leadership and outstanding room for growth. A much better company than its competitors, i.e., lockheed martin.

Cons

Some of the downsides are the limited visibility from the Mclean Headquarters. Often times, your personal development plan is lacking because of this.
