Pros
Overall, RTI offers competitive salary and benefits though it's an increasingly top-heavy organization where lower-level staff are significantly disadvantaged.
Cons
RTI's once admirable mission statement ('to improve the human condition') no longer applies to its own dedicated staff. Instead, this 'mantra' is used to mask the increasingly political, profit-driven internal bureaucracy that promotes and protects toxic Executive/HR leaders who exploit employees and cultivate dysfunctional, divisive, and stressful work environments. Combined with constantly changing strategic goals and leadership turnover, even the highest performing, most capable staff are increasingly miserable and most admit to regularly enduring burnout and poor work-life balance. RTI's intense focus on growth and profits, its lack of accountability for self-serving toxic executives, along with the weaponization of its 'HR machine' have greatly diminished the employee experience.
