Pros

once-great 401k, interesting assignments (at times)

Cons

Inept management, little regard for experience or education, too much in-fighting. Snowden should have been a wake-up call about lack of standards, but it wasn't. The professional ethos is gone and has been replaced by a selfish, amoral attitude that is becoming a cancer. Booz Allen's clients have noticed the change too, and recognize that they are no longer getting their money's worth.

Pros

It’s highly dependent on your team and contract, but personally the people I worked with directly (including my managers) were excellent - smart and driven people. It’s a large company so there are plenty of resources available if you seek them out.

Cons

Rigid review structure that limits and delays promotion opportunities despite successful delivery on contract.
