I read the previous review and felt I could offer a more fair and balanced opinion on Booz Allen…read moreHamilton. Firstly, this location is their headquarters and in the heart of Tyson's Corner. Booz Allen had owned and occupied 3 connected towers but I believe 1 of the 3 is now occupied by another corporation. They have numerous other locations in the DC Metropolitan area as well as across the United States. Secondly, as for health benefits, there are several choices ranging from HMO to PPO. As with most PPO's the high deductible was a decision forced largely by government legislation (and not horrible company bureaucrats). Some companies have been able to work in "stipends" by way of a HSA contributions and other have not. Booz Allen does contribute a stipend to the yearly HSA, which is a triple tax deduction. Thirdly, promotions are as merit worthy as any other employer in the beltway. Building a network does not require one to become an alcoholic, but rather requires you to get to know your peers, active participation in Booz Allen Hamilton sponsored initiatives and exemplary client facing delivery. Booz Allen Hamilton is a large services/staffing company, so differentiating yourself may require out of the box thinking (creativity), consistency and leadership sponsorship. I personally have not witnessed the need to "drink" or become an alcoholic. Fourth, there is truth to a services company needing to make money. Since Booz Allen Hamilton has over 90% of it's revenue from the federal government, it is natural to feel a push in times where government budgets for services are shrinking. The only way an individual can get a promotion is if the client is willing to pay more for the resource or there is a vacancy at a higher level (due to contract growth).

I am not sure if the previous bad reviews are people that did not get hired, but that does not…read morereflect what I have experienced at all. I had a lot of choices when it came to healthcare and everyone there makes you feel secure and included. There are countless opportunities to network and participate at Booz Allen sponsored events and I have personally attended a lot of them, where you will talk face to face with VP's who actually treat you as a valuable person. My career manager is my greatest advocate and I feel safe at Booz Allen knowing that he will help me stay working and fit where it makes me the happiest. They care about what your passion is and teaching you what you need to know including paying for certifications and providing training. It will be a tough day if I ever have to leave this company, as I do not think I will find anything better because I do not think there is anything better.

I was working with a few of their associates for multiple opportunities and have high regard for each one for them. They have been always accessible for any and all questions I had during the process. Dustin was always on top of things and got me answers right away. I eventually accepted one of the offers initiated by Workbridge and that was in part of my relationship with the folks here. They even checked on me on my first day, just to make sure I was settling in okay. I would most certainly work with them in the future :)

On the fence about working/Applying with this Agency?…read more I read the yelp reviews, they are great! However, all of the Leadership at WB looks to me to be about 20 years old or less? I have interviewed in the past with very young Recruiters, have a bad feeling about them...giggly, unprofessional, silly, un-professional, and have no idea about what it is like to be a consummate professional in the USA, anymore. The most recent Recruiter I spoke with in Ashburn, VA. was a constant giggler! Sooooooo... Annoying. She was NOT working at Woodbridge, per se. but that is the type of Recruiter that I have been running into, all throughout the Virginia area. I am hoping for a much better experience with Woodbridge? I will write another Woodbridge review, once I speak with some there.

They presented me with several opportunities that were of interest, which saved me quite a bit of time on the job hunt.

I would definitely recommend other professionals use these guys - they don't waste your time with useless jobs you have no interest in and also look out for you on what matters most after spending years in Big 4, work/life and money.

I also had to help some transition to companies more suited to their work ethic. As a result, I needed to replace 8 people. The team at Job Society got to know me and my vision and style. We spent some time crafting the needs of the organization and the roles that would be required. Then they did the heavy lifting and began presenting me with candidates. I was so pleased with their candidates for certain roles that we worked out opportunities to invite candidates who did not get the first job to consider alternative opportunities. Their cost compared to handling this on my own was relatively inexpensive, and the time savings allowed me to focus on membership and revenues. It turned out we had a lot of laughter and joy during the process as well.
