- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Great culture and the staff are super supportive
Cons
Fast passed place to work, not a con
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Great work environment and projects.
Cons
Poor salary ranges and sometimes poor work life balance.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Good benefits and work/live balance
Cons
No training of what you will be working on....
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
benefits are generous, including vacation and health insurance
Cons
The management structure is incredibly top heavy - where decisions are centralized in a few key players, who are so over whelmed that they are completely unable to lead; the result is completely unrealistic expectations on employees. Also - don't expect to be doing any substantive work. The job title for this position should be "copy editor" I haven't been asked to do such menial work since I was an unpaid intern.

Pros
The Management Team really cares about its employees. Abt Associates provides flexible work hours and great benefits.
Cons
Given that Abt Associates is a government contractor, it tends to scramble at the end of each fiscal year and that process can be stressful especially for people working for the divisions (profit centers).
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Great benefits and flexibility with work life balance
Cons
No progression or growth opportunities at the Sr level
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Good salary, opportunities to learn new skills
Cons
A CEO - Kathleen Flanagan - who doesn't know or care about international work; a centralized decision making structure (where no one other than C-Suite is empowered to make a decision); oh, and watch your back (because everyone else is)
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
People are friendly and collegial.
Cons
Increasingly unreasonable expectations to get more done with less, especially for the people that do the actual work. Stress and exhaustion are common. Decisions are made at top levels with little understanding of the workload or resources.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Can make your own schedule
Cons
often there were weeks I could barely get 20 hours
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Great benefits and mobility internally.
Cons
Leadership is hard to work with.
