      Pros

      flexible work hours; nice gym; cafeteria is very good and cheap; everyone gets an office pretty much regardless of level; kitchens

      Cons

      I was hired in a senior position and was then put in an office and not given any work or management responsibilities, despite the discussions of such during the job interview. I had a very bad experience here.

      Disappointing

      Pros

      If you are a Field Interviewer you only have to be marginally intelligent. In fact, most of the so-called Managers at Westat have little if any field experience to be of any assistance to those in the field.If you can ignore the stupidity at the home office you can have a somewhat pleasant experience.

      Cons

      For an organization that has grown to their size they seem incredibly disorganized - I wonder how they even "win" some of the contracts given their inability to carry out basic research methodology and protocol. They waste an awful lot of money - nobody there seems to have an inkling on how to efficiently run field operations.
