Pros
Work life balance, highly skilled colleagues, realistic expectations, appropriate pressure, rich project diversity, fantastic admin support (proposals, marketing, management, HR). I'm not exaggerating to say that I am grateful for my career at RDI, every single day.
Cons
The biggest hurdle to thriving here is developing an appropriate mindset and self-expectations. Punching a timesheet and watching a billable percentage can lead one to be too hard on oneself. Management knows this and will offer support, not pressure but it's difficult to take this at face value. Leaning into the company values of pragmatism, responsibility and integrity while managing client expectations is a real challenge. Embracing this challenge (and believing the encouragement management will offer) can lead to some of the best quality work and deepest personal satisfaction one can find in a career.
