      Great place to start a career!

      Pros

      It's laid back and people are really friendly. It's a very collaborative environment overall and generally people want to see you succeed.

      Cons

      Things do get slow from time to time and it's hard to get the type of work you really want. Since the split essentially pigeon holes the work within the Government space, the types of projects become longer and your progress is then affected.

      Great people, great work-life balance, but finding work that is interesting or a right fit can be challenging.

      Pros

      Booz Allen Hamilton can be a great place for work-life balance. 40 hour weeks are common, and the culture is that taking vacation and flexible schedules are almost encouraged. Part of this is because it is government consulting. Overall, people are friendly, collaborative, and generally bright. They are also very diverse (racially, gender, age, background), and diversity is a core value. Booz Allen has a great reputation in the consulting world, and in the wider business world, so it should look great on your resume. However, government consulting may not look as good as commercial consulting if you then look to transition to the private sector.

      Cons

      Government consulting can be dull and frustrating. Improving government programs, while important, can entail change that takes years to design and implement, and there are so many stakeholders in government that need to agree before change can happen. It can be frustrating to see hard work not be fully implemented, or to not even know the result of your project. Despite the global nature of Booz Allen and the many different practice groups, it is not as easy as they make it seem to switch teams or work on very different projects. Realize that the group you join Booz Allen in will probably be the source of your projects unless you try switching "jobs" to get on another team. Project staffing is haphazard and doesn't usually best match people's skills and interests with projects. This results from people not being placed on the right team when hired, and then not having resources to find about other projects besides those that one's supervisor (ie. admin manager) works on or knows about.

      Booz Allen - Not the great place it's publicity makes it out to be

      Pros

      Reasonably good benefits package, great employee parties around Memorial Day and the December holidays, always food up for grabs after business meeting breakfasts and lunches

      Cons

      Employees are worked very hard and there is a lot of employee burn-out, the Human Resources Department is not responsive to employee problems with management (management is always right), difficulties in transferring to other jobs, only pay what they have to to get you to come on-board and then give very stingy raises
