Thank you for taking time to provide a candid review. We are happy to hear confirmation that REI has many excellent attributes that you truly value. Likewise, we appreciate your comments on technologies. While we do not pursue any technology as an end in itself, there are certainly always ways in which we can continually grow and improve in this direction. One practical next step may be to speak with the Delivery Services team, your program leadership, or the Solution Engineering team to discuss specific areas where different technologies could enable your team to achieve greater efficiencies while delivering deeper impact for your customer. Thank you, again, for your reflections and for your efforts!

Pros

REI has a great company culture and quite good work life balance.

Cons

REI hasn't innovated in a while and likely won't. Company leadership is aging and tends to promote via family, plus stubbornly stuck on the idea of going back to work in person (while continuing to hire remote). Maternity leave practically nonexistent.

Thank you for this candid review and for your encouraging description of our positive culture and work life balance! These are certainly some of the aspects of REI that employees love about working here. As you probably have already heard (since this review), we were glad to announce a significant increase to our Parental Leave policy, in line with industry benchmarks. Thank you for raising your voice on this important topic! Your reflections regarding innovation are appreciated. We know this is certainly an urgent priority, as we strive to sustain the deep mission impact we are known for among our public sector customers. Our most recent Top Workplaces survey gave us well-above-average scores for doing things "efficiently," though pushing beyond this to truly transformational innovation remains a perpetual challenge in government contracting. While we are pushing forward in many areas like AI/ML, Automation, Low-Code, Agile, DevSecOps, and much more, we know there is always more to be done. You may be encouraged to watch the recent recordings of the annual Veer Bhartiya Team Impact Award, as finalists present their innovative and impactful solutions. Again, your advocacy here is most welcome! When it comes to promotions, we intentionally strive to fill leadership roles with experienced, high-performing team members who know our customers and the REI Way the best, so that we can continue delivering exceptional results. As for hybrid work, we continue to iterate our approach to balancing in-person engagement, hybrid working, and remote hiring. Our strategy has prioritized team-based decision-making regarding in-office presence, competitive hiring in and beyond our region, and culture-building within teams and across the company. We encourage you to continue raising your voice as we navigate the path forward. Thank you, again, for your feedback and we trust you will enjoy a long and satisfying career delivering mission impact, together!

Thank you for taking a moment to provide a review. We are encouraged to hear that your work life balance was indeed a positive for you, as we strive for it to be for all our team members. As every organization needs to continuously improve, we remain very encouraged that we have a broad spectrum of projects at REI that serve as inspiring best practices for others. In addition, our newly enhanced Delivery Excellence framework is proving effective as an internal guide for prioritized operational improvements in targeted areas at the project and program level. We are disappointed to hear that you experienced gaps in our processes but this only further fuels our commitment to continuous improvement that will ensure mission impact over the coming decades. Again, thank you for frank assessment for our consideration as we continue our journey of earning the trust of customers and employees, alike.
