Pros

Best supervisor I've ever had. RTI observes 10 (I think) holidays per year. It is my understanding RTI has recently reinstated paid holidays for non-exempt staff so they don't have to take a day of PTO (combination sick/vacation, 15 days) because they can't come to work because the office is closed in observation of the holiday. Get to interact with a lot of Post-Docs from foreign countries (India, Africa, China) because it's hard to find Americans with pHDs willing to work for what RTI pays. (and offering them permanent employment at the same rate).

Cons

I accidentally found divisional salary information at the photo copy machine. Appeared to me there was a substantial difference between salaries of female chemist and male chemists with similar education, experience, and demonstrated skills.'

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.
