Tax-exempt income (when overseas), Cigna International healthcare, 401(k) contribution and vesting

Cons

Expectation to devote significant personal time to support corporate interests in addition to on-site contract requirements; poor senior leadership and terrible local management; refusal to engage unethical and dishonest client lead; zero accountability for poor performers; recognition reserved for the "Principal's Pets;" no mentoring or development provided locally for non-minority/non-special interest group employees.

Pros

Great benefits and work culture. A lot of great opportunities to network and grow in your career.

Cons

Typical consulting work type stuff. All the extra non-paid internal firm work you have to do to get noticed and promoted. It can also be difficult to find a project that aligns with your career interests and aspirations leaving you to work with a client or on a project that’s less than ideal (e.g., super demanding client, very monotonous tasking with little opportunity to grow, etc.) Since Booz Allen mainly deals with federal clients, you’re also susceptible to project funding cuts and company layoffs do to current political climate (e.g., government shutdown, idiotic DODGE cuts, etc.)
