Vantaggi
The benefits at Booz Allen are pretty hard to beat, several of my former colleagues have gone to other management consulting firms and have all commented on their new benefit packages being woeful. The salary is not bad for people who came into Booz Allen before they went public, I believe since going public the initial wage is a lot lower.
Svantaggi
Since going public and the downturn in economy, Booz Allen has lost its focus on investing in employees and now is only considering the bottom line and its shareholders. There seemed to be great investment in lower level employees with training and developmental incentives, but now in order to do any training you are still pressured to keep your utilization up in addition to the training hours. In our office there are hardly any senior consultants left, as everyone has been given the boot or moved on for their own sake and noone can blame them.
