Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Abt Associates full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Interesting work. Good work/life balance. Some opportunities to travel if you want that.
Cons
Little room for growth, low pay, no career development or mentorship for junior employees. Your experience will depend on the group you work in - some people in different departments love it there. I just happened to work with people who didn't care about my future with the company.
