Pros
Your co-workers - consistently, across the board, they are helpful, considerate and enthusiastic.
Cons
One's experience of Booz Allen is extremely dependent on one's Dept (or Team) and Project. My projects had great work-life balances (40 hrs/wk and no more) and others were up until 3am. I know of a few folks who weren't promoted because then the Project Manager refused to replace them. Also, your ability to be placed on interesting projects is dependent on your manager's network - if they don't have contacts, then it's much harder for you to move. If you work in the DC area, they only allow networking events in McLean, VA so folks in other offices or on-site tend to feel isolated.
