Business Outlook
Pros
People take a team approach, and work together rather than compete with each other. Highly ethical company. Very solid reputation within industry; known for high quality work. Excellent support system; you don't have to do everything yourself. Unlike many government contractors, your job is not at risk when a contract runs out.
Cons
Westat is fundamentally low-key and conservative. That makes it solid and trustworthy, but not as innovative. It's not the first to adopt new software; everything is tested first. It tends to be steady rather than exciting.
