      I have been working at Booz Allen Hamilton full-time for more than 3 years

      Pros

      Depending on team and project, there can be much flexibility and work life balance

      Cons

      People are often chosen for promotion based on likability and not intelligence or past performance of proven work. Company has assumption that those promoted will manipulate others to perform the work for them if they don't have the qualifications.

      Advice to Management

      The southern plantation style of employee management seems to be working for the firm since profits are up. If ethics and morality ever become a priority along with profits, then the plantation style should be re-evaluated.

      Positive Outlook
      Approves of CEO

      I worked at Booz Allen Hamilton full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Great compensation and benefits, outstanding work life balance, lots of career opportunities, and you get a say on how far you want to go in your career. For lazy people like me who want to be overpaid just doing their jobs, this is great. I told them I didn't want to get promoted after the first promotion. They were totally cool with that and didn't hold it against me.

      Cons

      Their managers do not know how to effectively lead. Every single one of my program managers had poor people skills, were condescending, patronizing, and passive-aggressive.

      Advice to Management

      Send your newly promoted lead associates to leadership training. Even send your associates to leadership training so that when they're up for promotion, they will know how to effectively lead people, which will help retain employees and improve employee satisfaction.
