Pros

-Interesting projects in public sector -Attempt to diversify biz capabilities in the region (data science, cyber) -Still some brand equity for the "Booz Allen" name (even though most of it has been absorbed by Strategy&)

Cons

-Generally very poor leadership that is strongly Lebanon-centric (just ask anyone what happened in late 2017) -Only go after projects with long implementation phases -No strong presence outside key public sector areas. If you want to develop a capability or sector expertise outside of this, good luck. -GMC capability only in MENA... this is not a global firm for consulting in any way

Pros

Great benefits and work culture. A lot of great opportunities to network and grow in your career.

Cons

Typical consulting work type stuff. All the extra non-paid internal firm work you have to do to get noticed and promoted. It can also be difficult to find a project that aligns with your career interests and aspirations leaving you to work with a client or on a project that’s less than ideal (e.g., super demanding client, very monotonous tasking with little opportunity to grow, etc.) Since Booz Allen mainly deals with federal clients, you’re also susceptible to project funding cuts and company layoffs do to current political climate (e.g., government shutdown, idiotic DODGE cuts, etc.)
