Pros
- Some of the best financial tracking systems of any IP. Financial, MEL, and operations - Hard working regional teams - Supportive of telework
Cons
- While RTI was previously one of the strongest USAID IPs, they have dropped in winning awards the last few years. Because of this, people are overworked and refuse to hire additional staff in support teams. Expect to be significantly overworked and burnt out, and expect the culture to support this lifestyle. - Turnover is very high in lower to mid positions because senior management is horrific. There are Managers, Directors, and other Sr management folks that everyone knows are bad performers, lazy, and cruel, but they just say "we have to work with them." - You will feel unsupported, more so than in any job you've had before. The culture of shame and blame is significant here, Management *always* seeks for a person to blame. You will spend so much time on that rather than discussing how to improve systems or processes that help everyone. - No opportunities for growth. You'll notice on Linkedin how most SPAs have been in their role for 5+ years. RTI doesn't do promotions,
