Pros

Well established company, good outlook, cared about our health during Covid-19. Company size allows you to meet people from all backgrounds and has allowed me to make several friends.

Cons

*Only applies if you are an existing employee, a woman and care to be treated the same as men and want more loyalty than what is given to new hires" After multiple years of completing all projects on time, and training people in a higher position than me I ask to be promoted. Nearly 3/4 a year later I was given a title change to keep me quiet with only 4% more money and much more work. All of the new hires and men in my position are paid 5-10% more than me. I love RTI and they feel like family to me but this is why it hurts even more because I wanted to make a lifelong career at RTI. The favoritism towards men and new hires has been something bothering me and several of my coworkers for years.

Thank you for your review. It is great to hear that you have been able to build a diverse professional network at RTI. We also hear your concerns around compensation. In order to retain the critical talent and attract the new talent to RTI, it's imperative that our compensation program offers a competitive compensation package to employees at all levels. Our compensation package is intended to be externally competitive, internally equitable, designed to attract and retain critical talent, provide meaningful rewards and recognition, and reward individual performance. Our compensation team works with leadership regularly to provide internal and external compensation reviews, ensuring pay equity for all, regardless of their gender, race, religion, national origin, age or physical/mental abilities. We provide all direct supervisors and managers with training and resources to help them navigate conversations with their direct reports around our compensation review process. We encourage you to continue to have conversations with your direct supervisor or manager, and also recommend that you reach out to your Human Resources Business Partner. We understand the importance of every employee being fairly compensated for their contributions at RTI and we will continue to evolve our compensation package to reflect that.

Pros

Remote work and reasonable working hours

Cons

If you're a PhD who enjoys research and hopes to use empirical research skills at a research institute, you'll likely be disappointed as I was. Projects in my business unit were largely implementation projects that required very little creativity or data analysis. I was told by my manager that empirical-research projects are harder to come by and when those opportunities do arise, everyone wants them. Even then, project directors are very unwilling (in my experience) to let you branch out to other projects. Using any overhead time to work on your own research is also discouraged, so I ended up working on manuscripts in my personal time. And there's no funding to attend conferences either. On top of all of this, constant layoffs create an aura of uncertainty and the feeling that you're lucky to even be there even when compensation for similar roles in private sector is far better.
