[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a single mom at Booz Allen and I’ve had all the flexibility I need. Health benefits are solid, lots of people telework, and leave is generous. But it’s team-dependent. Some managers are a lot better than others. [/quote]

+1 I'm at Deloitte and it's similar. BUT I'm not client facing. Client facing roles - a lot of benefits but you WORK WORK WORK. Non client facing you enjoy all the benefits and can take PTO etc. Of course you don't rake in the $$$ but are compensated well. Trade offs.

But the benefits can't be beat - 240 hours PTO, great flex about WFH and managing your schedule, 6 month parental leave, some cool wellness benefits, back up childcare. [/quote]

Yes, very true. It’s client dependent. My current client is super cool and right in line with telework, flexibility, etc. Previous clients were less so, but I’ve always been able to carve out a workable arrangement. [/quote]

Another +1 at Booz Allen.  Deloitte PP's experience may be different depending on the clients, and over 90% of Booz Allen's work is with the government.  Government contracts that only pay for 40hrs/wk mean you average out to 40hrs/wk.  If you're trying to advance and want extra work on proposals or marketing, those are options, but by no means required to have a successful career.  Flexibility can be a bit less based on the client space, for example if you work in a classified environment then they may let you flex hours but telework isn't an option.
