Pros

Amazing opportunities, committed incredibly smart people. The ability to work on different projects is great, and the flexible work environment is awesome.

Cons

If you're stuck on a bad project, you're stuck for awhile. Some people have worked at RTI forever and get away with terrible behavior and managment.

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.
