Booz Allen Hamilton Interview Questions

Interview process was very professional. I had a difficult time getting the recruiter to schedule the interview. Recruiter 1 that I had initially worked with on the phone screen didn't push my name so I reached out to her manager to get things scheduled. The interview was standard - 15 minute phone screen and another 60 minute interview with two people. Ultimately I declined the offer because the reputation of NAVWAR as a client and the compensation was well below the market. Also, after asking some simple questions like "what does the day to day look like" they couldn't really answer specifically which was a yellow flag for me. Second position I have interviewed in Booz Allen and both times the compensation package has been extremely low. My .02.

Interview Process: BAH: In the Fall of ’22, a junior HR staffer responded to my resume submission with a call to check my qualifications, review my readiness and willingness to work in the DC area and at client sites. Me: Yes, I’m a US citizen, with excellent credit, a PhD in physics, 20-years’ industry experience directly related to the requisition’s requirements, and former holder of TS project-level clearances -and, “yes,” I’d relocate to DC for the position. BAH: Great! I’m passing you to Sr HR, and scheduling a technical interview via MS Teams! Me: Easy Friday afternoon 1-hr interview (seemed to go well, with the clock 30 min past the scheduled time). Engaged and interesting SME talked about semiconductor manufacturing. BAH Sr HR: The following Monday: we offer you the position! Me: Verbally accepted offer. Subsequently, verified that my background check passed with all ‘green’ checkmarks. Then, received a written offer letter, with typical contingencies like passing their back check, and also some weas-words about having funding in-place. I signed the offer and was told I’d start soon, working from home for a good salary. Post ‘Hire’ Ghosting: BAH never moved forward after months of friendly status queries from me. My Workaday page still shows “post offer activities” underway (I wrote them off months ago). It is my impression that HR was too disinterested and disconnected to send a formal withdraw of their offer to me (I did get an email with HR mentioning that expected funding didn’t come through). Although I think that there was misrepresentation, and possible bad-faith negotiating by BAH, I believe that their offer’s contingencies on funding would give them legal cover for ghosting me as an exit. But, what a waste of all of our (and the US government’s) time! Was I ‘rolled?’ Maybe. After the first few weeks of post ‘hire’ inactivity on BAH’s part, I wondered if I’d been duped in a fishing op masquerading as a gov. contractor…. I guess that my resume may have padded some capability checkbox as long as it was needed, but now they’re off trying for some other DARPA contract.

Submitted resume/application for position online. Then had a phone screen with a recruiter. An email from a recruiter will be sent to the candidate with interview time and how to join the interview.

Solid interview process for sure wasn’t that bad really thought it was good to be honest. Nice folks and technically minded. Bright future to say the least. A bit stuffy culture wise

Easy & straightforward, had 3 rounds of interview to include screener from recruiter, asked me general STAR related questions and why I was interested in the role. Had an initial meeting with 1 person followed up by 2 more individual meetings

Very professional interview. Most former military personnel know that you are interviewing with professionals that have successfully transitioned out as well. The interview process was verifying your experience and also helping to assess how you could apply those to the civilian/consulting process.

Good interview, very personable people. Interviewers made the time spent talking enjoyable and memorable. I would highly recommend attempting to find a job with this company. The jobs offered are diverse and there is something for everyone

One online interview pretty straight forward. Just know the role and how it supports the overall program team. There's not much else to be frank. Received offer once the interview was over.

This interview was two hours long with three separate parts, each with a different interviewing team. The first part was behavioural, and the second and third were both case interviews.

Booz Allen interview process can be lengthy. Sometimes it is not transparent about the timeline of different steps. Many interviews with different people. All were in person pre pandemic. Encourage others to apply and follow up with questions and check-ins on the status of their application process.
