Pros

I cannot think of any Pros. Booz Allen has been the worst company I have ever worked for in my 25 years of employment.

Cons

I went to me Senior Manager to see if he could find more work for me. My manager then told me, he was not going to find more work for me but instead he was going to lay me off. I talked to him about not having much time to find another assignment because my CAC card was expiring on August 21st. A software developer on our team was also being laid off. On July 31st, the software developer told our group he found a new job. Our Senior Manager congratulated him, wished him luck and told him the group would throw him a big party on his last day of work. The next day, on August 1st, I came to work. I saw my Senior Manager and said hello to him. I then saw another Senior Manager who attended a customer meeting with me. Immediately after this meeting, I get a call from my Career Manager. He said he had to talk to me immediately. When I met him, he said “What the hell are you doing at work. Your last day was yesterday.” I told my Career Manager that I had talked with my Senior Manager and we discussed my last day being August 21st. He told me no, July 31st was my last day of work. I looked at him and said I had no idea that July 31st was my last day of work. No one said a thing to me. Worst yet, if July 31st was my last day of work, no one even said good bye to me! I have never been treated so unprofessionally in all of my life.

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.
