Vantaggi
Decent benefits and compensation (although the "firm" has recently reduced the education benefit by half to $2,500 (isn't that tax deductible?)) Great people to work with (for the most part and on the lower levels, anyway)
Svantaggi
Bottom-line ($$$) centered (publicly traded company (NYSE: BAH)). Training is only available if you're willing to eat the additional hours. You're expected to 'make up' hours for everything (no overtime). Extremely top-heavy, and managers only seem to look out for themselves and their cliques. Incompetent first-line management. Has lost its competitive edge and prestige in the consulting business. It's all about 'butts-in-seats', and if you can't find billable work immediately, you'll be shown the door. Little, if any, opportunity to grow into other aspects of the business, especially on the government side. You are required to interface with incompetent government bureaucrats. Work/life balance virtually non-existent. Corporate culture is vaguely defined with no specific guidance.
