Vantaggi
They pay decently. My office was nice, they have free coffee. Most weeks, I can usually get a free lunch from the leftovers from meetings.
Svantaggi
Management in all of the Information Security/Assurance areas with whom I've interacted and worked seemingly have no IT backgrounds. They have learned how to talk the talk, but can't walk the walk. They recently fired on average just over 20% of their senior leadership. They also made a campaign on the radio and in recruiting to hire 1500 new Cyber people for Summer 2011. Most of them have now probably been "let go." An article came out at the end of 2011 or early 2012 that stated that Booz is not financially solvent. Management then held conference calls where they "told" us that they're "righting the ship." It was ironic as the Italian ship had just crashed at the time. It seemed to fit perfectly, as this is what's happening. Half of one Cyber team has quit and left for greener pastures. After accepting this job and resigning from my previous job, I couldn't find anyone who had anything good to say about Booz. One friend put it best: "Booz is where dreams go to die." There are so many other contractors out there, and they all seem better at this point. When you consider that SAIC has been around about 1/3 as long, and has twice the number of employees and revenue, it seems that Booz is doing something wrong, and companies like SAIC are doing it correctly.
