Pros
Booz Allen focuses on "what have you done lately" vice rewarding people that merely have impressive resumes. I work within the Defense field and deal with Senior Management that either have extensive military background or none. Their promotions were based on Booz Allen merit. Do not expect this approach everywhere. Very good compensation (I use compensation vice salary...read below for more)
Cons
Salary generally lower than other consulting firms, but you have to compare compensation (their "401" contribution beats all). Most business models have a separate Business Development arm. BAH does not. The higher you go, the more BD becomes a critical aspect of your daily life. If this isn't for you, stay away.
