      Pros

      Great people, decent benefits, option to telecommute if your job supports it, onsite gym and cafeteria, and a chance to contribute to improving conditions around the world.

      Cons

      The IT division is a mess, and has been for years. A fairly recent CIO change only made matters worse. IT management frequently joked (in a very negative fashion) about non-IT staff and administration. Was embarrassed most days to be in IT. Almost no chance for advancement beyond the rare grade promotion. VERY stagnant environment, even with the recent reorganizations. For 15 years it was nearly impossible to get fired from IT. Now no one has any job security, unless they are in management.

      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.
