Applied if a position at Booz Allen Hamilton and my online portal says Assessment Pending, but I have not yet received an assessment. What does that mean?

We have an initiation ritual we call “The Assessment” that all candidates are required to perform. You’ll be flown to an undisclosed location and given robes to wear, and our elders will ask you a series of questions. This is the psychological component, meant to determine if you’re prepared for the next steps.

Once that is complete, you will battle other potential candidates in hand to hand gladiator combat before an arena of our employees. Some candidates will not leave the arena.

If you survive the challenge, the last step is an extremely difficult crossword puzzle. Many of the clues will be obscure pop culture items from before you were born. We also give you a pencil with extremely soft lead, and barely a nub of an eraser. We want to see how you deal with extreme pressure.

Good luck.

Man I'm lucky they gave me a sodoku instead of a crossword. Possibly different for technical people. The battle against other tech people was definitely easier...

It’s the assessment of you by the company, I believe

If you’re a candidate of interest, you should hear something within 1-2 weeks. Booz is usually pretty fast when contacting recruits. Check workday regularly as well, because you won’t receive any formal notice if you’re not selected, other than a status change in the portal.

I am an IT architect with 10 years of experience specifically in Salesforce products. I am thinking of moving from a strategy consulting role to an architecture role in Salesforce (company) itself. I have experience building tech strategies and also technical project delivery.

Wondering if it makes sense to apply for an Enterprise Architect (pre-sales) or a Senior Technical Architect role??

Also in terms of seniority and salary are these roles any different?

Do you continue to see in-flight interview processes through once you’ve received and accepted an offer?
