Pros

Casual work environment. Dogs in the office on Fridays.

Cons

I have worked full time for Booz Allen Hamilton in Charleston, SC for almost three years. I make entry-level pay, way below market value. I can barely afford to pay my rent and bills. Even when working way more than I should, working weekends, and holidays, working through illnesses, etc., I have not received a pay raise or promotion. There is no promotion structure. If you are looking to grow in this industry, please look elsewhere. I can only document 80-hours worked per pay period, even when I work closer to 100. I carry much more weight than what I am treated. Program Management and Senior Leadership do not care to help, and won't compromise to help you get to where you deserve to go.

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.
