Pros

-Interesting projects in public sector -Attempt to diversify biz capabilities in the region (data science, cyber) -Still some brand equity for the "Booz Allen" name (even though most of it has been absorbed by Strategy&)

Cons

-Generally very poor leadership that is strongly Lebanon-centric (just ask anyone what happened in late 2017) -Only go after projects with long implementation phases -No strong presence outside key public sector areas. If you want to develop a capability or sector expertise outside of this, good luck. -GMC capability only in MENA... this is not a global firm for consulting in any way

Pros

Strong mission-focused culture with meaningful work supporting national security missions. Great exposure to diverse projects, talented teammates, flexible work arrangements, and opportunities to develop skills across security, intelligence, cyber, and consulting. Benefits and professional development resources are solid.

Cons

The company culture and employee experience have changed significantly in recent years. Earlier years felt more mission-focused and employee-centered, while recent organizational shifts, government spending pressures, and increased emphasis on becoming a technology-focused company have created uncertainty for some employees. Frequent changes in priorities, restructuring, and business decisions can make job stability feel less predictable. Employees may sometimes feel disconnected from leadership, and concerns raised through HR or management channels do not always appear to result in meaningful action or transparency.
