Pros

I have been at Westat for 7 years and I really enjoy working here. Extremely nice people, great support departments, laid-back atmosphere. They provide all necessary training and encourage professional development.

Cons

Salaries are not competitive at lower grades, that's why a lot of people view the company as a stepping stone to get experience and skills. Pay raises are very gradual and structured and promotions can be very slow since they depend on time in grade and overall time at the company.
