Pros

Steady and not too demanding. I have worked in Silicon Valley and working for BAH is like working for the gov't slow and steady. Things move at a glacial pace comparatively. Good balance of work and life. Many people have complained about the balance yet most of them have not worked in the real world. Very secure.... Salary is not that great compared to others but you have to really screw up to get fired.

Cons

Alot of overhead and deadwood. Need to create better accountability for Profit and Loss. Too many level 5's that don't truly have a business case. This year's pay pool is joke. If wasn't for the bad economy people would walk. But I guess we need to pay Carlisle back their money. In CA if your program is killed you have 2 weeks to find a job and then you are terminated. Other BAH offices are very good keeping people employed.

Pros

Amazing and motivated. Great support such as labs, commuting buses, proximity to Tysons.

Cons

High pressure. They bill too high - so stop work often. Then you are left to find work internally. Management isn't technical.
