Conseils à la direction

Keep up the good work!

Avantages

Great launch pad for new grads and ex-military

Inconvénients

more focus on the consulting practice of getting full time employees in client organizations High requirement for security clearance

Avantages

--Good training ops. --Salary/Benefits/Social activities that are swanky.

Inconvénients

--Top-heavy whereby too many managers are doing admin and not the actual work of the "practice" (Booz-speak for the individual tech team or group of teams which serve one client or one sector such as the US Navy). --The company is overally "balkanized." It's harder than expected to move from one practice to another. It's almost like there are several small B-A&Hs instead of one company.

Conseils à la direction

--Lose some of the bureaucracy and operate with more agile teams.

Avantages

The people are great. Everyone -- even the difficult types -- are eager to work and excel. There are some senior officers with questionable morality, but most people here are great people to work with.

Inconvénients

1. Federal clients. Don't forget that you'll move at their pace, not yours. 2. The nature of the job means that sooner or later you'll be strategizing ways to get more money from the client (i.e. federal government), regardless of whether or not you'll actually add value. BAH runs on government money, a large chunk from DoD, and thus is part of the bigger problem we have in this country with fiscal responsibility....

Conseils à la direction

I'm leaving this job for two reasons, despite being hand-picked and groomed for greater responsibility by senior management. 1. You weren't paying me enough to do the job; especially when you factor in the amount of stress this job puts on a human being, the amount of time I sacrificed with my family, the amount of guilt this job inspired in me as an American. 2. The job is not meaningful to anyone who doesn't lust...

Avantages

Flexibility, 401k, tuition assistance, upward mobility, experiences/opportunities, fair salaries

Inconvénients

Health insurance isn't great, work/life balance quality depends on the office

Avantages

Flexibility, career growth, management support

Inconvénients

Stacked with ineffective middle management

Avantages

Lots of opportunity. Great training ground for self-motivated, self starters who know how to work on their weaknesses.

Inconvénients

Directionless leadership; transition from private ownership to PE to public has fundamentally changed the employee experience. Danger of turning into a pure beltway bandit body shop.

Avantages

Good people and great work life balance. Semi-interesting and valuable work.

Inconvénients

Pretty hard to get different project experiences like a typical management consulting firm. Pretty easy to feel "stuck" on a current project.

Conseils à la direction

Management is overall supportive and wants you to succeed. Could do a better job giving constructive criticism.
