SRA BAH - Senior Associate Booz Allen Hamilton Employee Review

Usually no overtime. Diverse job assignments are available.

Many job assignments are at military sites, and must be done in person.

Booz Allen used to support people when they were between contracts. It was a good time to grow your skills while you were looking. There are also many contracts and projects that it is possible to work on, so it’s a good place to start your career and get some experience before finding another role elsewhere.

Since 2025, the government contracting cycle has been disrupted and there is no longer any patience for down time between contracts. Always Be Billing! Also, the company is trying to market themselves as a tech company that develops its own products, and they do have some products, but for all of the talk, most of the work is still government contracting. So, any R&D efforts for most will come after 40 billable hours for the week plus any other company service you do. I don’t know how many have the energy to do this over a longer period of time. It’s definitely subject to office politics, as any large corporation would be. There are inside groups and outside groups on the bigger contracts. If you’re not in the in-group, you’ll have to fend for yourself. At least the company name looks good on a resume for an external job search! Ditched the DEI efforts as soon as the Trump administration said that was the condition for receiving federal funding. I get why they did it, but it makes some of the company’s stated values ring hollow.
