Deflate the egos of your Sr. Associates! - Associate Booz Allen Hamilton Employee Review

Pros

Flexible work schedule is advantageous to people who commute long distances. The health benefits are so-so, and may get worse since the company was recently bought by the Carlyle group. It's a good place to start your career if you are a new graduate. The environment is highly political in nature. Best to buy a couple of conservative suits before you interview with this company.

Cons

Long hours expected (42++/week). Highly political in nature. The GQ dress look gives the impression that the company does good stuff. Wearing a necktie is mostly mandatory. Shoddy educational benefits, and meager health benefits. Most managers at least attempt to listen to employee concerns, but rarely act on them in an efficient manner.

Pros

It’s highly dependent on your team and contract, but personally the people I worked with directly (including my managers) were excellent - smart and driven people. It’s a large company so there are plenty of resources available if you seek them out.

Cons

Rigid review structure that limits and delays promotion opportunities despite successful delivery on contract.
