SURVEY SAYS


A “source of pride”


Booz Allen insiders are chock full of adjectives when it comes to characterizing the firm’s culture.Only a handful of these are less than enthusiastic, including “stifling,” “slow-moving,” and “jealous.”One staffer states, “I feel it’s better than most, but still has room for improvement.The culture can be intimidating. If you or your work can’t provide immediate and obvious value to another, you can be quickly dismissed.”He adds that “with so many people [working] remote[ly], it's difficult to form office relationships or collaborate.”

Tips from the inside

Getting grilled


Insiders say Booz Allen “has an extensive interview process” in which “a potential candidate can expect to interview with at least four people.”Some add that the “intensive group interviewing” is “grueling on purpose, to see how well prospective employees handle the stress.”Question topics may vary. Some interviews focus on “skill/experience level and whether you will be a good fit for the team.”As one consultant recalls, “Most questions were behavioral, no case questions,” but he adds, though, that “one interview was strictly brainteasers.” Others note that brainteasers are “common with level-1 consultants.”Moreover, a newbie states, “hypothetical business strategy scenarios are presented to gauge the candidate's thought process and problem-solving abilities.”
