Terrible experience, would never recommend to anyone unless they are guaranteed a long-term project. - Consultant - Cyber Booz Allen Hamilton Employee Review

I just moved to the DC area after being hired as a Cyber Consultant, only to find out that I would have to fight for my career as soon as I got here. I was hired for non-existent commercial work, and as a new graduate (entry/junior level) I have found ZERO opportunities within the firm. Upper management is very unhelpful, and only instructs you to make sure that your Hello profile is up to date and that you are checking the jobs.bah.com website for open positions. OH REALLY! I HAD NO IDEA I HAD TO DO THAT! I spend at least 1-2 hours everyday on jobs.bah.com, or reading the internal job reports, and sending out applications / following up with hiring managers. The few jobs that there are, all require clearances. I am FULLY clearable, and have absolutely no reason to be declined a clearance, however finding someone to actually sponsor the clearance is impossible within the firm. The process goes like this: Apply to job that you meet 75-100% of requirements, notify them that you have a Secret clearance, and ability/willingness for a TS, or SCI or FSP if required. Receive notification that client is not willing to sponsor clearance, and hiring manager hires an outside resource. Original internal Booz Allen candidate receives lack of work notice and is given two weeks to find something, AS IF THEY HAVENT BEEN LOOKING ALL ALONG. At the end of this two weeks, the Booz Allen employee is laid off with no severance. Terrible experience, unprofessional/disconnected upper management, and a focus on the bottom line at the expense of employee satisfaction.
