      "Fairly new to the firm but so far they have good benefits and no complaints on the medical side of the house. Leave days are alright I do wish there was more progression up to 30 for individuals based on years of service. "

      "The family leave policy is disappointing, especially when comparing to other firms who have generous leave policies. Depending on the team you’re on, you could run into some sexism but there are also many teams where it is a non issue. Flexibility is valued and encouraged; however, you’re still expected to figure out how to get your work done and meet deadlines, which is really tough in the age of COVID if you have children at home. The environment is very fast-paced and focused on delivery. Overall, I’m happy here. There are many opportunities to try new things, meet wonderful people, and to enjoy your work. My advice to others is to be careful of burnout."

      "The firm provides 6 weeks paid parental leave, from which you can build on depending on your short term disability benefit. Short term disability starts at 100% or pay for 3 weeks for employees employed for less than a year. More than 3 years employment = 25 weeks of 100% pay."

      "If you are prepared to work hard and do whatever it takes to get ahead, then the Firm would be a great place to work. It carries a long history and a lot of respect in the world. But, at least while I was there, there was no work-life-balance for women or men. They talked a great game, but it was a different world on the inside."

      "BAH can be a difficult place to work at. You really have to take your career into your own hands and drive it, which can be hit or miss depending on your personality. The people I work with are wonderful and talented, and the work we do provides value to the world. Leadership puts a lot of effort into diversity and inclusion; however, sometimes it misses the mark. Your career is better if you are located near HQ in the DMV."

      "Highly competitive, versus collaborative, environment and astonishing lack of diversity in mid-career and upper leadership ranks. Go-along-to-get-along mentality creates unsafe environment to raise issues and drive debate."

      "It's not 50/50 for gender disparity, but that has more to do with the industry in general. I think if you work hard and figure out how to make it up the ladder, you have no limits on what you can achieve. Leadership is definitely thinking about ways to improve the gender gap and work on women's initiatives so it's a great place to be at the moment."

The company itself is very flexible and care more about the results and outcomes of your work rather than seeing you in person sitting in the chair. However, some clients still operate in an old school setting. In general, we support the federal government and most of those jobs are not extremely taxing or demanding.

      "Booz Allen makes honest attempts to promote diversity, and depending on your situation, you might be able to find mentoring and support. But there are definitely some biases under the surface, especially when it comes to how the male-dominated client views your work. It was also a very competitive environment in general, even across genders. As a bright young newcomer to a team, I encountered some adversarial relationships with other females."

      "There area lot of women who work here, especially on my particular career team. This is most likely due to the type of work we all do. Women are in high-level positions and the glass ceiling is not something you typically have to deal with; however, I have observed an environment in which women are more than willing to stab others in the back to get to the top. Not everyone believes in helping other women succeed."

      "If there is gender bias, it is subconscious. I have worked with some great bosses, and some not so great bosses. In general, I have seen males get promoted faster and for their "potential," while women have to prove themselves and their capabilities before they get ahead. Work life balance is good, with limited travel and a chances to work remotely. Lots of inspiring female leaders at the firm. But lots of subpar managers with limited soft skills."

      "Maternity leave at Booz Allen is essentially non-existent. You get 2 weeks off paid by the firm only. After that you have to rely on your own accumulated leave or short term disability for the next several weeks. Men and women get the exact same amount of time off (called parental leave) which feels unbalanced. The firm is a good place to work, allows for working from home which is a huge bonus as a working mom - but the firm knows that the WFH is a bonus, allowing them to keep salaries lower than they should be for skills provided. Speaking of bonuses, there are none for anyone under senior associate. And there is a bottle neck at the lead associate to senior associate juncture. The cause of this that there is a disproportionate number of lead associates slots (thousands) to the senior associate slots (a hundred or so) making it unrealistically competitive to get promoted and those promoted are mostly men, as it is a male-dominated business (ratio is likely 1 female promo to 5 male promos, at best). This of course leads to significant attrition. There is tuition reimbursement of 5k per year, but you have to stay with the firm a year or pay it back. This part is not women-centric, but important to know."

      "The glass ceiling hangs very low at Booz. You will get pats on the head for good work, but in leadership meetings, the men openly dismiss women team members. I saw over and over situations where a woman who brought in 3X revenue as her male counterpart be passed over for promotion, and then her leadership "realign" the team so that the male counterpart looked successful to line him up (successfully) for that same promotion.In one office, 60% of the staff at a mid-level were female, however the next level above, it was 97% male. In another office (of 400+ staff), it went 7 years without a single female promotion to management (while there was at least 1 male promotion each quarter in that same period). When people say Booz is a boys club- believe it."

      "I've worked at the company for a long time and from a woman's perspective, the culture is not welcoming. Men feel emboldened to speak to women in a derogatory manner and exclude them from events that produce positive business development outcomes (i.e. Superbowl, golf tournaments, cigar outings). If you are contemplating working here and looking for a place that respects women, their opinions and puts them on equal footing as men, I would look elsewhere."
