Pros

Decent work life balance, but you do have to work a full 8 hours every day, and a lot of the work is boring-- tons of notetaking and admin in the beginning and throughout the job.

Cons

For anyone below a PhD, pay is awful. Management is terrible, and there's a few managers in particular that will not help you. Lots of layoffs and a big competitive atmosphere. Used to be a great place to work, especially in-person, but is now people competing to get enough billable hours so they don't get laid off.

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.
