Booz Allen Hamilton Linthicum Maryland office feedback

Associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

For this specific Booz Allen Hamilton group in Linthicum, Maryland, the best reason for working there is the opportunity to obtain a high level security clearance. Most of the work done in this office requires a security clearance and having an active clearance is very advantageous in this area of the country.

Cons

Booz Allen and Hamilton in the Linthicum Maryland office is a very competitive working environment, meaning that your colleagues are all working against each other to try to obtain work and assignments. This corporate culture has created an environment of mistrust of others motives, lack of information sharing, misinformation being provided across the organization and a general cut throat mentality.

Pros

Great people doing challenging work

Cons

Senior management is mostly hired in - there is almost no chance to work your way up the corporate ladder. Advancement within the firm is dependent on your ability to cultivate and maintain "patrons" that help you advance - while the firm pays lip service to objective "criteria" for advancement, especially at senior consulting levels, the truth is that the criteria have no bearing on promotion - the only criteria that matters is your boss's willingness to push for your advancement.
