Abt Associates Employee Reviews

I have had a rewarding rich and rewarding experience working with Abt to improve the quality of life and economic well being of people around the world. Abt exemplifies an organization that promotes equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility. Here, you have empathic leaders you can trust.

Strong systems, opportunities for advancement, great benefits, and coworkers

Not sure about Abt HO but Country office have lack of efficient leadership, coach/mentor where employee may improve their capacity professionally. Abt HO need to focus on efficient leadership at country office level.

Work done af Abt has a positive impact on people's lifes

One of the worst companies I've ever worked for. Lack of communication, inadequate training, and blatant disregard of employees' needs both to do their jobs and be treated like human beings make it clear why they're unable to be successful.

Their transparency, resilience and flexibility.

Flexibility and team a player

The Abt global leadership team is very committed to staff well-fare and proactive in driving the Mission and Vision of the Organization

Experienced, strategic, proven, reputable, and many of them widely acclaimed in their fields.

Specific and clear vision is required. Leadership team should be visionary with mentoring capacity.

Training, communication, pay and benefits, and recognition of employee contributions. Employees are either treated with disrespect or ignored. Negative, toxic environment makes work environment practically intolerable.

I like my department's executive, but my manager does not even talk to me. I'm on my own to manage my project schedule and estimated projections

The leadership need to be trained on Abt Values regarding Performance Goals, giving clear Team Objectives, and communication with team members, accepting feedbacks and allowing rules to be respected.

Better actual guidance of junior staff. Very sink or swim

The gratuity after my contract tenure

The best part right now is the generous paid time off.

401K and ESOP, parental leave, vacation

Equity package always work best

Very standard package. Dental, Vision, transportation stipend. Very good education benefits. I get a week of Learning hours every year, and they cover tuition if you want to take a course somewhere.

The same grade staffs are getting different types of compensation which is not acceptable. There is very few benefit other than salary. 100% taxable income. Small scope to negotiate the benefits.

Respectful, reliable and good company

The best thing is the program itself

The best at what they do. Powerhouse group.

Smart and highly motivated employees.

Sharing the food. They are good in talking.

Integrity and emphasis of company values

Values and transparency, access to leadership

Nice building. There are groups to join for black and lgbtqia employees that organize events

The most positive is the references we have, that we try to follow. We also have a friendly and flexible work schedule.

Flexibility. Even pre pandemic the ability to work from home and at your own hours is great. Helps if you have a team of many timezones and can align your schedules. Just introduced ability to flex your work hours over the 2 week pay period. So 80hrs over 2 weeks not 40 over 1

More inclusive and exclusive participation from all employees

Supervisor should be subject matter expert. Eliminate the importance on one man in decision making. Respect to staffs comments. Create a positive environment. Stop blaming others and spying.

The interaction with the interviewers

The phone interview part of the interview

Way back when I interviewed, people were upbeat and excited about the work. It was conversational and relaxed.

High touch, great communication, and fast

The process seemed very equitable and fair.

Attaining my goals and the ability to grow in my work

My workstation is my safe haven

Opportunities and diversity of work

Professional growth ( experience from previous work, not from current assignment).

Flexibility in schedule. I am very productive at night and am able adjust hours to sleep in later in the morning

The "leaders" are anything but and wasting our time with too much unbillable work.
