Westat – “it is okay unless you do not want a raise/praise for your work.”

Pros

Work schedule is flexible depending on position
Nice cafeteria with healthy option
Gym for fitness freaks

Cons

Favorism is rampant.
You will not get the salary you deserve for your work unless you are dancing to the managers tunes,
Lots of office politics and talk in the back. Be ready to work double loads as some managers have favorites and their work will be handed over to you and manager's "favorites" spend hours chit-chatting

Advice to Senior Management

Make sure to make surprise visits to administrative departments and conduct interviews with departmental employees to handle favorisms.
