Pros

They offer an excellent benefits package, including medical insurance, 401K contributions, flexible spending accounts, professional development, employee stock ownership options and plenty of vacation and sick leave. There is an intensive employee review each year that ensures that managers are aware of your accomplishments and goals. They offer plenty of feedback on your performance and seem to be interested in facilitating your professional development.

Cons

Westat is a company that is slow to change and adopt new technologies/philosophies. If you are interested in being on the cutting edge, you may find that this company is not right for you.
