Abt Associates Reviews

Pros

Abt offers excellent work/life balance. There is a strong emphasis on learning and the company makes it possible to grow through formal learning and through other options such as marketplace mobility which allows you to connect and learn from other departments. There is a lot of flexibility in terms of work schedule. I find that many of my colleagues telecommute at least once per week.

Advice to Management

Rethink the "billability" idea. It takes away from the company mission and creates a less ideal work environment. It also makes it appear that employee happiness is valued less than how much money we can earn the company.

Pros

Flexible schedules, interesting work and fun colleagues; lots of things to take part in whether it's work, fun or community events
