Kontras
-Layoffs are big now. 130+ senior staff were let go last week and today (1/27/2012) over 300 people were let go in just this area. Types of people let go today: Mailroom staff (most of them), printshop staff, Human Capital staff, EA's and others. This is just the start. -Management is terrible at communication. You never know what is going on and when you ask about anything you are looked at as "creating waves" and that is not a good thing right now (considering the layoffs). -The pay isn't great -- especially for what they charge gov't clients. -Benefits are about to get a big overall for a lot of people. In the coming weeks, Booz Allen senior staff will be rolling out a plan that will put a great number of staff in what they call "Cost Band 8." Those put into this category will have greatly reduced benefits, reduction in pay/level in the firm, reduced tuition reimbursement, and many other benefits stripped from them. If you are on the client side and are not cleared, are at a low level (Sr. Consultant or below), or don't have high value to the firm -- expect to be on the list. GO Team people can expect it to shortly after.
