Westat Compensation Employee Reviews

Salary + employee owned stock options make the pay competitive

There were good benefit choices

Above average compensation compared to other types of pay for work that I have been doing

Good health insurance. Company ownership

I haven't received benefits from other companies that I have worked for,

They pay you cash to buy whatever benefits you want. (An extra $4 per hour)

PTO,41K, Supplementary insurance, Floating holidays

41k and the fact it's not group setting everyday

I was paid for mileage and received per diem while traveling.

The matching 401K plan is the best part of the package.

Several options

Yes. This is a very tough job. I think the compensarion needs to reflect the education and experience if the employee

They pay the lowest hourly rate available per the contract and you can work on a project year to year and never receive a pay raise. Thus somebody coming in new to the project makes the same as someone with years of experience on the very same project.

I was a contractor don't know about their benefits

Nothing. Policy is policy. HR cant/won't answer phone calls

No one listens to employee concerns.

I am part of the management team and have to fight to get outstanding performers pay increases. There is a corporate culture that people are lucky to be working here and as long as we give them 1-2% a year, they will be happy.
