[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spent 10+ years at Booz Allen. Totally NOT family friendly. Left a year after I had my first. How that company has made Working Mothers magazine every year is a joke. I left for the federal government 6 years ago and love my job and where I work. Completely different than I thought it would be, for the most part. And family friendly.[/quote]

It's because the company writes applies for the honor. From what I remember from my Booz friends, they had tons of FF policies but they penalized people for using them.[/quote]

I'm at Booz Allen now. It totally depends on your team and your ambition. I've been on teams that were mostly women with families and they were very family-friendly. Right now I'm on a team run by a single woman with no kids who claims to be family-friendly but is really fairly inflexible. Also, if your project requires on-site delivery, the family-friendliness goes down.

I'm in a middle range position and do just fine working my 40 hours/week. Client is happy, I'm easy to staff, been around long enough that I don't have to be involved in too many "extras" to prove myself. I have no desire to move any further up the corporate ladder though. If I did, the family-friendliness would decrease.[/quote]
