Pros

Great benefits ( though can they last?). Very smart people, and some entrepreneurial spirit remains.

Cons

Has become a branch of the Fed. Govt. WAY too much internal paperwork and BS. The assessment process is a nightmare, and the "GO team" support function now drives the company, rather than those who serve clients directly. Client delivery has suffered as a result, with more and more reasons not to do something, and less and less risk taking. The split from the commercial business is when it all started to fall apart, and the efforts now to reenter this market are humurous. Going public was the final in the coffin of a flexible responsive firm. Regrettably, while Booz was a great firm for a long time, I do not see a bright future.

Pros

Great benefits and salary, social groups for younger employees, some flexibility to move around in the organization. Fantastic location (in McLean) with offices all around northern VA and MD.

Cons

Not very clear on how to move up in the organization (specifically for technical / IT staff rather than the traditional consultants), senior management sometimes obtuse, defense contracting projects aren't the most exciting, the dress code is insane (business) even for developers who never get to speak with the client.
