Pros

They pay on time and make ethical decisions.

Cons

It is difficult to advance within the company, they are not focused on hiring from within. They are also very quick to lay employees off at the end of a project, only to restart the hiring process for another project 3 months later. I've been laid off and rehired a number of times.

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.
