Booz Allen Hamilton: An insider guide - Gymkhana

VacationBooz Allen employees are encouraged to use vacation time. That means thatonce your vacation request is set up, it isn’t moved. In fact, the concept of acancelled vacation is so foreign to Booz Allen insiders that when asked whetherthey’d ever been asked to change their vacation plans, it often stunned theminto silence. “The thought never occurred to me,” says an insider. “I usually tryto plan my vacation for a time when my project workload is light, but once I’vemade plans, no one has ever said that I couldn’t go.” Another insider says, “Inthe 9 years I’ve been here, I’ve never had to cancel a vacation, not even a 1-daydelay. That’s also because I communicate my plans far in advance.”New employees receive 2 to 5 weeks of vacation plus holidays (depending onthe country), 3 paid personal days, and 2 floating holidays that can be used attheir discretion. Employees in European offices can expect more vacation timethan those joining in the United States.The Workplace53
