Pros
Very fast response and follow up my online resume I submitted with Westat.
Cons
Spent an hour on an overly long phone interview. I was told it was "mandatory" to study materials in advance of this interview, so in preparation I did do as asked. Next I was given short notice to meet for the third, in person interview - while previously being told I would be notified during an exact specified week and to expect a call in that time frame - instead it came a week later and in short notice. I drove miles out of my way for this last minute interview. I was kept again in a long interview for an hour during the face-to-face interview. Finally I was told I would be notified of the hiring decision soon, in a week or so. No word -- No letter, no phone call. Nothing. Waste of time, with no acknowledgement one way or another. I guess Westat does not have to bother with any follow through to job applicants. Speaks volumes as to how they treat people, so I expect Westat employees to be equally disappointed with Westat.
