Pros

-Benefits are decent -Many coworkers were cool

Cons

-Do not recommend coming here for proposal or BD work for the following reasons: -Unsustainable is an under statement. Short staffed and do not hire more resources yet expect more and more BD and proposal work out of people -Does not entertain ideas for improvement -No bonuses below SA. No award bonuses. No industry standard bonuses or benefits from working on BD and proposals. No down time between deals. -Good ol boys club to the max -attitude problems for days and don’t trust anyone -they search for a scape goat to blame for problems -if you have a hybrid role, be prepared to go to the office everyday. This is a “relational” company so you have to go in to play stupid politics -don’t even have equipment for BD and proposals. War rooms have zero extra monitors. No working comms Finally, do not accept a position here “on the bench”. That means you have to find your own work or be fired. They don’t explain that part. You’re on your own to do this. Don’t do it.

Pros

Friendly work environment, flexible hours, very rarely have to work over 40 hours a week, competitive pay, competitive PTO

Cons

Booz Allen will hire individuals without a position in mind and force them immediately on to the bench. This means that after hiring, they have to conduct more interviews and networking for an “internal job search”, which I feel is disrespectful and not professional. It also means that the interviewers and hiring staff will not know what you will be doing which may result in being mislead about the true nature of your position. However the bench is very nice for existing employees who have a contract ended, allowing them to find a new one without being laid off. Health care could be more competitive. Very high deductible for what you pay. Finally, the company is attempting to transition to a technology company, which doesn’t seem to be going well.
