Pros

- A lot of opportunities to grow your relationship management skills, highly different from other sales roles as an account executive because you get direct interactions with F500 senior executives instead of middle market business owners and middle managers. - Young and vibrant team, regular company outings and weekly casual outings - Prime location with a beautiful office - A lot of autonomy, results-oriented environment. - Kitchen is always stacked with beverages and snacks including protein bars.

Cons

- This business isn't for everybody. If you're planning on joining you should be self-motivated, ambitious, and highly receptive as to what's going on in the market and business community - make sure you're the right fit for a results-oriented business.

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.
