What's the best federal consulting company in terms of desirability to work at (factors like comp, growth, low travel, opportunities, etc) - Accenture Fed Services, Booz Allen BAH, Deloitte FS, IBM Fed, Sapient, Leidos, EY GPS, McKinsey, any others. E.g. AFS -1, DFS/IBMFed -2, rest -3

Deloitters salty because Booz doesn't hire douchebags

Deloitte, I spent a lot of time at Booz and Deloitte is much better for Fed.

I loved Accenture, absolutely loathed Deloitte, and am really enjoying Booz. So opposite.

2nd Deloitte. Better project opps and consulting name. EY's GPS seems quite small and no big presence.

How's IBM Federal? Heard there's a big push and investment with Watson in the medical and analytical space. Should be some interesting projects though Watson is not profitable yet so there will be those pressures.

Was at BAH for 6 years before hitting my proverbial glass ceiling. I like the culture at EY (and my team) much better but agree with EY1 about our gps practice.

BAH is obviously a huge player in fed space. Work life balance is fantastic IMO but that comes at the price of compensation, as we are certainly one of the lower paying firms. Culture here is fine, but as with any firm, your experience can vastly differ with variables such as your manager, colleagues, etc. I've only had to travel three times since I've been here (coming up on 2 years). Work can be interesting but rather slow depending on your function. I really don't understand why people (specifically employees of Booz) hate on the firm so much, I've rather enjoyed my time here. And douchebags..... we definitely have those, like any firm. Best of luck.

I have 12 years of experience.. in all interviews I really does well except writing sql queries.. though I have 12 years of sql experience whenever they ask in interviews to write even basic queries I will get nervous and my mind goes blank.. how to overcome this problem? However I practise before d interview, I still will not be able to think logically and write queries in interviews..

Client team and our designers got into a shouting match today during final review of the deliverable (client started it). Is it too much to ask that people be professional at the office- ugh.
