Pros

The best reasons to work for Booz Allen Hamilton include their top training programs and the very strong benefits package. In addition, the experience you get while working on-site at government agencies is very hands-on. There is tremendous opportunity for advancement as well.

Cons

"Mystery" regarding compensation, promotion and overall career advancement. While there is tremendous opportunity for advancement, the culture of the firm is to "hide" the rewards for making Level IV (Senior Associate) and going up the career ladder. It can be frustrating because you don't know if it is "worth it" to work long hours, nights and weekends and being away from your family. There needs to be more visibility into the compensation structure for Level IVs and beyond.

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.
