Pros

The fact that Booz has a bench that will still pay you is a huge benefit. You get assigned a Career Manager and depending on who you get they may or may not be good in helping you find your billable project.

Cons

There is no transparency from leadership. Booz isn't able to manage the contracts well and causes the customer to lose trust with the firm. Booz will convince you take a TechEx course which will put you $5k into debt and have to wait 18 month to be debt free. This is their strategy in maintaining their employees as turnover is high at the firm. The salary is way below market average compared to what other companies pay. When you leave a project and go to the bench to find a new project, you're essentially on your own. There is very little help from your CM. You can post on Yammer and apply internally to find your next project.

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.
