Wondering if anyone has had experience with the tech excellence program at Booz Allen? I was hired a month ago in commercial consulting and now they are asking me to do the tech excellence program. I read some pretty bad things about it and am pretty confused

I do not have experience with the program, but I would go for it as long as the bad reviews do not contain any non negotiables. What are the reviews saying?

Did they give any explanation as to what exactly the program is and why they want you to do it? I haven’t really heard of it before just curious about what their thought process is.

Are they asking you to do the program alongside the job they hired you for? Or are they saying they want to put your job on hold until you complete the program? If the latter, that sounds incredibly shady. I would have them put IN WRITING reviewed by a lawyer that your job will be given to you after the program and that they will pay for the program 100%.
