Preparing for Your Interview

What's a Booz Allen interview like?

Our people are our greatest asset, and our purpose is to empower them to change the world. Beyond the skills and experience you’ll bring to our team, what we want to know most is who you are. What are you passionate about? What do you want to change in the world today? What motivates you to be successful? We look forward to learning more about your career aspirations and how you hope to further your career with us. 

What kind of interview should I expect?

Our interviews vary by team but typically include a combination of technical screens, virtual or in-person interviews, and individual or panel interviews.

As part of the application process, you’re expected to be on camera during virtual interviews and assessments. We reserve the right to take your picture to verify your identity and prevent fraud.

What sort of questions should I expect to answer?

Our questions encourage you to tell stories about yourself and show your approach to solving problems. Some examples include:

  • Describe how you addressed the greatest challenge you faced in your last role.
  • Describe a time you exhibited leadership qualities.
  • Describe your role in a project that you were particularly proud of.

What’s the best way to engage my interviewers?

Demonstrate your interest by preparing thoughtful questions for your interviewer(s). For example, what do you want to know about the role, project, team, or growth opportunities?

Highlight the skills and passions that demonstrate the “real you.” This is your opportunity to develop a relationship with your interviewer(s) and potential new teammates.

 What should I expect after my interview?

After the interview, our team will be in touch as soon as possible. For other details about the next steps, check out our Candidate Resources. If you have questions, reach out to your recruiter or recruiting coordinator.
