Pros

The firm will take care of it's employees. You can have your schooling paid for, great educational opportunities, and the ability to do side projects if you want. The cultural diversity at BAH is an excellent starting point for many people fresh out of school and the possibility of career advancement is second to none.

Cons

Leadership is disconnected from the lower levels and often, mid-level leaders will encourage violation of time reporting policies. In particular, having one report less hours than they actually work. For example, working 60 hours in support of the client, only to be told do not report more than 50 hours for the week otherwise you will draw "unwanted attention" and make your life difficult.

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.
