Pros

Steady and not too demanding. I have worked in Silicon Valley and working for BAH is like working for the gov't slow and steady. Things move at a glacial pace comparatively. Good balance of work and life. Many people have complained about the balance yet most of them have not worked in the real world. Very secure.... Salary is not that great compared to others but you have to really screw up to get fired.

Cons

Alot of overhead and deadwood. Need to create better accountability for Profit and Loss. Too many level 5's that don't truly have a business case. This year's pay pool is joke. If wasn't for the bad economy people would walk. But I guess we need to pay Carlisle back their money. In CA if your program is killed you have 2 weeks to find a job and then you are terminated. Other BAH offices are very good keeping people employed.

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.
