Great place to work if you're funded; individual experiences will vary widely

Business Outlook
Pros
RTI maintains some considerable semblance of being an academic institution, and a non-profit, despite being a very revenue-driven place. Work conditions are very flexible; you can work from home, telecommute from abroad, etc. You can now take up to three weeks of unpaid leave in addition to fairly generous paid leave. You can work with very little supervision and a lot of responsibility.
Cons
Rather bureaucratic and slow; geared to large research projects. Some of the support staff do low-quality work. Very revenue-driven for a non-profit. Difficult to work across different parts of the organization.
