Pros

Above average salaries for the industry (for now), good benefits, respectful work atmosphere, community involvement. Opportunity for advancement up to the lead associate level. Good employee recognition program.

Cons

With the decline in government spending, Booz is taking some hits. A couple rounds of lay offs targets administrative professionals and mid to senior managment - more are likely on the way. Perks have tapered off after the company went public. Promotion above lead associate is difficult in the current business enviroment. Territorial management makes it difficult to explore business opportunities outside your team/geography. Recently announced the cancellation of the current Employee Capital Accumulation Program - a great benefit which put 10% of the employees salary into a 401K with no employee contribution required. Transitioning ECAP to a 401K matching in line with the rest of the industry.

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.
