Pros

I think Booz is probably a good place to work if you're fresh out of college. They'll provide you with some good structure and you'll be able to learn some skills to prepare you for the real world. The benefits package is pretty solid too.

Cons

Since I was what they called an "experienced professional", things were a lot different for me. For one, most of the stuff they preach like work/life balance etc. doesn't really apply if you're working at a government site. My expected utilization number was 100%. That's unrealistic. The structure was real military like. I had to report to different people for different items. You get paid once a month which isn't really a big deal unless they don't tell you until you've started. Definitely ask up front. There are so many people at Level III that career advancement doesn't really seem feasible. Be careful if you take any classes, bootcamps from them as you'll be obligated to pay back the money or stay at least 2 years (although this is quickly becoming industry standard). They preached about how they weren't a body shop but with no real goals on my project, I couldn't see how they differ.
