Pros

Great mission, there are some incredibly dedicated people working at RA who bring a passion that is frankly unparalleled. Depending on your business unit, you can find incredibly competent managers who want to see you succeed in your career. Really beautiful office in NYC as well as opportunities to potentially work in VT, D.C., and Minnesota.

Cons

Alas the cons very much outweigh the pros. Senior management is incompetent and highly political. There is some intense infighting at the top which trickles down in the worst way. Basically in the Summer of 2015 the entire senior management of F&A quit following the departure of the CFO in the Spring. There is supposed to be new blood coming in, but there are stalwarts there that have an axe to grind and are likely to grind it. Do not expect to be able to climb the ranks, only a few have done so. I would recommend waiting until the dust settles and a new President is in place. There are much needed changes in how the organization operates and their business model, and those I do hope are forthcoming.

Pros

Mission driven and people that are very hardworking and want to do their best

Cons

The Executive Leadership team needs to be scrutinized. They work against each other and against RA values and devalue the mission of the amazing organization. The answer to every thing is a restructure and reorganization. Very reactive and do not learn from their past mistakes.
