Pros

Westat is a good place to start out in order to get your foot in the consulting door. The offices are very nice and you get free parking.

Cons

Very poor upper management and morale very low as a result. As a new employee you should not expect any mentoring. Also, the messanger is often killed. The majority of the people in the group I worked for are unhappy.
