Pros

Interesting work. Nice facilities - cafe and gym. Private offices, not cubicles.

Cons

The IT management is awful. They do not know how to deal with their employees. No growth, no training, no team building. Horrible place for a junior employee. Terrible place for individuals with more experience because your growth professionally or personally is not encouraged. At Westat, the IT staff are not respected and not considered critical project team members - they are simply worker bees who need to be told what to do hence the quality of the work suffers greatly.
