Pros

expense reimbursement, hotel stays, meet new people

Cons

They pretend that the culture of this business is that they are all a 'team'. They are not. My first day in the field I was immediately met with disrespect from the OS, clique-ish behavior, and the want for brown nosing because butt kissing white women is the ONLY way to survive this job. The people in the other reviews are either other white women or liars. The bad reviews actually reflect this company and their culture. My second day I was lied on that I threatened my OS, when that did not work to get me fired, the OS decided she would attempt to seat me in the furthest corner so that I would not be able to hear important information. I quit. I had enough. Now currently, my FS decided she would use my entire last paycheck to pay medical that I will not have next month, pretended she could not see my expense report, and will not explain how this happened (on purpose). If you are a black woman, DO NOT waste your time. I am not the only one this is happening to. A young Black lady I left behind is experiencing worse because she would not quit. If you don't quit they continuously lie on you, I dont know who are worst, the coworkers or the management. I will be filing a complaint with the EEOC.

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.
