Pros

I can't say enough good things about RTI. The people I've worked with are professional and supportive, leaders have a "team" mindset, the pay is good, the benefits are good, the work is meaningful, the schedule is flexible, people can work reduced schedules if they need to, the offices are nice, they provide the resources needed to optimize work efficiency, they offer remote, hybrid, and in-office options, and the work-life balance is great. They also care about equity and diversity and fair treatment of everyone.

Cons

Availability of work is based heavily on the availability of federal government research contracts. If they're cut at the federal level, layoffs happen. Growth and proposal opportunities depend partly on the project teams people are on.

Pros

Colleagues were usually respectful, hardworking, and competent. Pre-Covid, the RTP campus was a vibrant and collaborative working environment. Some of the (mostly Federal) contracts provided for interesting research and work.

Cons

Perhaps put too many eggs in USAID contract and Federal social sciences baskets. Org's strength used to be hard sciences. RTI's strength was its organizational culture which was severely undermined by the decision to allow almost anyone to work remotely Upper management bends too much to a vocal and political few, helping to sour an excellent working environment. Many faithful and valuable employees now distrust senior management.
