Pros

I really enjoyed working with really, really bright people. Everyday was a learning experience. My managers always took the time to explain questions in detail, even if just in the realm of science. It's a great learning experience. Managers are very supporting and understanding. I always felt valued. If you are someone who's job isn't just a job, but somewhere to continuously grow and learn, RTI is a great place to be. It really is a smart company. I enjoyed working for a company who's mission and vision I really respected.

Cons

Business development (at least in the office I was located in) was very poor. Professional development and growth structure is non-existent - you have to continuously chase and try to grab for attention to work on advancing through positions.

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.
