Pros

RTI International internships are a great way to network with senior executives and develop skills outside of academic training. Work load is heavy but fair, and the responsibilities given allowed me to feel as if I was part of a team rather than just the "intern."

Cons

Sometimes the work involves sitting in front of a computer for days on end, but this really depends on the division/unit the internship is with.

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.
