Pros

Worked for westat 32 yrs was very good till the older board started to retire and they brought in a new ceo about 6 yrs ago or so things started to change very slowly till all of the board members were retired then he brought a lot of his former colleagues and the changes started to move very quick playoffs ect ,the higher ups never made a effort to take a walk around the buildings to meet the people that help make the company that it is , never came to departments and ask us about equipment that needed to updated they would say this is what you get, loved working there with a lot of good people who are like family but those days are over

Cons

Laying off a lot of people that work or worked in some very important departments, hope this does not come back to bite them ,can see the company being sold in a few yrs I really think this part of the master plan

Some staff do not respect lower staff; especially when they are Black lower level staff. Reactive instead of proactive when it comes to training up staff as opposed to hiring consultants Benefits and pay suffered after the administration took over Work-life balance frequently is an issue. Intrusive work expectations.
