      okay for a couple years

      Pros

      there are opportunities if your P-sup cares to help you. laid back environoment

      Cons

      P-Sup (sort of a guidance counselor) looks out for the interest of the company rather than yours. Can be too laid back. People who are incompetent are kept rather than fired and tasks are reassigned to others who do a good job, while the person still "works" No pay increase with promotions till review in December, and increase do not reflect the amount of tasks given.

      Morale at Westat is very low.

      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.

      You will work for the Trump Administration

      Lead research associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Many career pathways, hardworking employees, helpful managers, good compensation.

      Cons

      You will be expected to follow all Executive Orders, as most contracts are with the federal government. Currently the culture is very anti-LGBT, anti-equity. All employee resource groups were shuttered, no pronouns are allowed to be used in email signatures or meetings. Any reports that mention LGBT people or even sex or racial equity have been scrubbed from their website and disavowed by the company. If you love Trump, you will love working here.
