Booz Allen Hamilton – BAH seems like a great place to work in a down economy. The firm is strong and able to place employees if/when they become unbillable. However, with unemployment at less than 4% (even lower for Cyber Professionals), they need to reconsider wages and rate structures to hold on to talent. | Comparably

What makes you most happy at work?

The client, the work, the team.

What are some of the best things about your team?

I work with highly talented and motivated individuals.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

Like most places, they are decent people for the most part. Some care more about waiving the corporate flag than investing in their people. Way too many Senior Associates and Principals, VPs on overhead, makes wages less competitive.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

I can't speak too much to the company culture as I work on a subcontract primarily. Most of my company interface amounts to compliance training and annual assessments with an occasional mandatory (yet un-billable) all hands sprinkled in.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

The health care plan is mediocre (we've moved to my wife's employer's benefits). Generic 401k contributions. Under market for Cyber Security professionals. Ditch bidding on Low Price Technically Acceptable contracts. Move Senior Associates to billable positions and increase wages for loyal employees

What did you like most about the interview process?

It was similar to a panel interview with multiple staff at differing levels of experience, but it was all one-on-one and then hand offs to the next person. I had junior level employees all the way to Chief Engineers interview me and the level of experience was random rather than progressive.
