Vantaggi
- Big, shiny object on your resume - Lots of firm-wide emails meant to boost your morale about the latest benefit cut - Hoteling implementation has led to lots of Working From Home (avoiding the treacherous DC area commute) - Still buys out Kings Dominion once a year for Employee Appreciation Day (amazingly this perk has outlived quality health care plans)
Svantaggi
- A sinking giant in Federal "Consulting" in full cost-cutting mode after recent IPO. The stock is doing well b/c the employees aren't. - Extremely poor raises (promotion and non-promotion) in the last 2+ years - Reduction of once amazing 401k program to slightly above average 401k program - Change to all high deductible health plans (with super high premiums) and emails from management about how this is a good thing - Switched to the full Federal holiday schedule which resulted in zero floating holidays (was 2), no Black Friday holiday, and a reduction in PTO. - Ability to switch projects not on par with other true consulting firms (lots of boring staff augmentation type roles with little mobility) - Top talent leaving the firm to work at better places. - Changes structure/organization/quirky catch phrase ALL the time - seriously why even try any more? - All of the above is resulting in the firm losing its prestige and sinking QUICKLY. Booz Allen used to be a very respected place to to build your career, now its just...a place to work until you find something else.
