Pros

There are some good people. Not just dedicated, team-players; but talented, skilled team-players. And the good ones are really good.

Cons

The 'bad apples' are in key positions of leadership and only give opportunities to those willing to play games their way. 60+ hour work weeks (no, not required of course, but to keep up with what will not get you in a bad spot? Yeah) Oh, and if you are not a software developer (professionally or by training/education), and you get forced to be one or go find a new job, and you spend a full year working your backside off to be told you are "a key part of the team going forward" by your Job Leader (because you literally built most of the backend of a piece of software now in prod with a BAH client) you can look forward to a 3% compensation bump because "we need to money to bring up junior people." Oh and about 2 weeks after while they bring on 3+ people with higher salaries than you who are now operating out of the same budget pool your new 3% is coming from.

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.)
