Pros

Hit or Miss - It will either be the best job you have ever had or the worst I have worked multiple different contracts for multiple managers and have gotten to see many sides of Booz Allen. Each government client team has its own culture and pay scales. If you have a good manager there are a lot of opportunities and pay can be fair. The good managers will be some of the best people you will ever meet.

Cons

If management is bad there is possible hostile work environments, no career mobility, no reward for hard work, and you will be payed 20,000 to 40,000 below market rate. Some Booz teams will offer market salary adjustments, others will not.
