Pros

Great remote options working here. I have had good dealings with everyone I’ve worked with so far at this company.

Cons

They don’t shove it down your throat, but unfortunately, there’s more woke influences creeping in. Just to be clear, it’s not forced on you, but it’s just becoming part of the announcements and such. Pay does not seem to match market value.

Great Company, Way below-market Salary

Business Outlook

Pros

People are great, opportunities for learning are good, your team and managers will have your back on client projects. Good company culture. Good efforts on D&I. Leadership seems to really care about everything, with one big exception (see "Cons")

Cons

The business model is clearly based around cost-of-living arbitrage- they will pay you the going rate for your area, not for your industry, so you will make way less money than other software engineers with similar experience, guaranteed. They will bill the client up to 2-3x your salary, and good luck asking for a raise. Most of the talented devs I worked with would do 1-2 years at RSI and then go for another job to bring them up to market rates, so the people that stick around tend to be the people that couldn't make market rates elsewhere- but this really is typical of consulting.
