Founded by Edwin G. Booz as Business Research Service in Chicago in 1914, the firm underwent numerous name changes before settling on Booz Allen Hamilton in 1943.[1] In 2008, it split from Booz Allen Hamilton as Booz & Company, and, in 2013, it was acquired by PwC, the largest consulting acquisition of the company's history.[2] The contract required PwC to drop the Booz name, and the unit became known as Strategy& in 2014.[3] At the time of acquisition, the company had more than 80 offices in 41 countries.
According to Glassdoor, it is the second highest-paying company for employees in the United States as of April 2017.[4]
