Pros

I worked with some phenomenal people at Booz and I made some lasting friendships. I'm appreciative of the opportunity to try out different projects and clients. I learned useful skills in Agile project management and strategy consulting.

Cons

I also worked with some incredibly toxic senior managers, who I reported to HR. I had one conversation with HR where they asked me to send names of anyone else who wanted to speak with them about these senior managers. I ended up compiling a list of 12 names, none of whom were contacted by HR. HR did nothing to address my and my colleagues concerns. The company showed a pattern of moving toxic or unproductive people from team to team but never actually addressing the performance or potential harassment issues. I also had terrible experiences with clients and nothing was done by Booz. The work on most projects is slow and inefficient. The weight of finding projects is entirely on the individual employee and there are few formal processes in place to help with the project search.

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.
