Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Leadership is looking for ways to elevate their team. If you can demonstrate value, there's endless opportunity to grow in the business development itself.
Opportunities to work independently and remote.
Only my immediate manager has a heart and compassion-above him it's dog eat dog
Attenpting to increase communication, but not slways good at it
I'm trusted and empowered to guide the majority of work completed in fulfilling the client's needs
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Collaboration and consistency with all staff.
communications is critical to understand how you fit in the company. Here very little communications from leadership.
Listen to feedback from client-facing junior staff as they are the boots on the ground delivering services.
Encouraging team to be self starting and arming them with skills and process to do so.
Leading by example. It's not that difficult.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Medical benefits are great for families
It use to be the stock/cash bonus until it went away.
They gave me 100k when I quit so I would promise not to take my clients with me. Which I would not have done anyways. Although they lost half their contracts when clients figured out I wasnt thete anymore.
Fair salary, not the highest in the market, but the incentive bonuses drive initiative.
Review from Executive Dept
Solid base salary, no bonuses or stock given to regular (non exec) employees.
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
401K match great. Healthcare was expensive.
Just because I feel that way
I feel appreciated but I think the company is lacking in benefits and compensation.
Booz Allen Hamilton Holding annual gross profit for 2022 was $4.464B, a 6.25% increase from 2021. Booz Allen Hamilton Holding annual gross profit for 2021 was $4.201B, a 2.86% increase from 2020. Raises were less than the increase in reported profits and inflation resulting in a losing purchase pwr.
matching 401k monthly instead of yearly... it affects compound interest and is not the most effective way to save for your retirement.
What are some of the best things about your team?
We work in a collaborative fashion
Easy going they make the work environment pleasant.
Great people who are passionate
Drive to do tge right thing for the clients
Near universal concern for the client's mission. Focus is not on "8-hours a day and leave." It's more about "does the client have what they need to be prepared for tomorrow?" If so, then the job is done for today.
Review from Executive Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Stop meeting just to meet!
only one meeting in 6 months... that was because of a document needed completed by members. No direction or mentorship provided.
Complete waste of time. No one cares
No one likes excessive meetings
Review from Operations Dept
Short sighted, tactics without planing. Mid-managers asign tasks arbitrarily, without considering which team members are best suited for the work. No vision.
Review from Marketing Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
casual easy going place to work
Internal collaboration emphasis, but not consistent
The environment/culture values both business and personal aspects of life.
Review from Executive Dept
It is inclusive and diverse.
Integrity is of the utmost importance to me, and this is more than just a tagline. They live it.
Review from IT Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Remove the levels and use regular job titles
Find a way to hire more POC's (People of color)
people are not as informed for the areas they are responsible for. Have to direct them instead of them providing information.
Stuck in the 90's. Most visible in upper middle management (SA, PRN, VP).
Everything needs to change in TA
What did you like most about the interview process?
The interview process it's self
Questions asked, people that i interviewrd with.
That it was a conveesation and not a grilling
Well executed interview process and would recommend to others
It was very low stress and any questions or comments were articulated in a manner that was easily understood. Because of this, I was able to give detailed answers as I understood what was being asked of me.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Provide training to all interviwers
Do multi-person interviews rather than multiple ones with different people on different days
Get ready to wait for 3 interviews of varying difficulty. Usually with a week or two in between. It took me over a month to complete the process.
Review from Engineering Dept
I don't feel they were completely forthcoming about job duties and salary.
Review from Operations Dept
Speed up the process. Takes way too much time now from interview to offer.
Review from Marketing Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
The end of the day is nice
Teamwork with good, smart colleagues
Seeing client success and recognition of Booz Allen's contribution to the mission.
Review from Executive Dept
The projects themselves are interesting and have an impact
The people I work with are great at what they do and communication is solid.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Management needs to improve in all areas
We don't have office space or places to put our things, so every day we have to figure out where to sit. Hoteling is a pain but the senior folks don't care because they have offices and don't have to deal with it.
Very stressful clients and client site environment
Review from IT Dept
The work is kind of boring.
Review from IT Dept
Certain Leaders lack depth of expertise and are unqualified to move their respective capability forward, therefore they protect the status quo. Delivery without a long term vision. Combine that with average pay and there is no incentive to retain top talent.
Review from Marketing Dept
What do you like best about your company?
The work culture and the offices
Review from Engineering Dept
Variety of available projects and the caliber of the people I work with.
The name recognition and the people I work with.
Review from Engineering Dept
approach and support
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
I would like to see higher compensation and bonuses for all employees
Review from Engineering Dept
Job security for client facing employees. We are constantly stressed about finding billable assignments.
More focus on tech / engineering support from management
