Pros

Some smart people work here.

Cons

The requirement of tracking your time doesn't allow for creative exploration or afternoons to take care of a personal matter like most full time jobs. It's effectively working hourly with benefits. If they don't have enough work for you, you must use your PTO or take unpaid time off. Very hard to get salary hikes, they do not pay market even for government consulting work. No career path. Everyone is seen as a human resource.

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.
