Pros

RSI believes in its core values and tries to do them every day. We provide jobs to many people right out of college and give them a chance to learn and grow. We do very good work for very good customers.

Cons

We sometimes don't know how some decisions are made or how some things end up. Did we get a certain contract? How and why did that person end up on my project? .Why is HR involved in so many things? Who does what for which Customer isn't really their business is it? Do they have to approve everything other departments do? How do I grow here? There is a lot of difference between my manager and some other managers. I don't remember the last time my manager set my goals.

Low pay but varied assignments

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

All programming for the client is done remotely. You might have to go onsite to meet them but the majority of your work is done over a VPN. Every client wants something different.

Cons

Due to the business model, you will be underpaid for what you know. You get outsource work, stuff the client either doesn't want to do or doesn't have time. Also clients tend to be four to ten years behind on technology so you will not be working with the "latest and greatest".
