Pros

Decent benefits. Most employees are very smart and good at what they do. The annual retreat was great.

Cons

Complete lack of diversity. Very long working hours during busier times and lack of flexibility with remote work. Some locations were forced to return to the office as soon as legally possible in 2020 despite safety concerns from many employees.

Thank you for sharing. Diversity is an area of focus for us. Our firm is implementing a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Plan that details specific initiatives we are undertaking to advance DEI in the organization. The initiatives are organized into three categories: 1. Strategies to continue to recruit diverse candidates at all levels and provide inclusive benefits to employees 2. Strategies to develop employees and promote continued growth and advancement in the organization 3. Strategies to retain qualified staff and cultivate an atmosphere of equity and inclusivity You can learn more about our DEI initiatives by visiting the Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion tab on our website. It sounds like our approach to flexibility was not to your liking. Raftelis employees do have flexibility in terms of work from home / work from an office, and employees who preferred to work remotely for health concerns was provided for throughout the pandemic.

Pros

Exe leadership is solid. Benefits and pay are great. Flexible PTO. Company retreats.

Cons

Individual practice leadership varies. I often feel that my immediate managers are struggling to fit into the company and are often too busy to provide me any support.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re glad to hear that you valued our company culture and the people you worked alongside — our team is truly what makes our work meaningful. We also appreciate your feedback on both the nature of the work and compensation. We recognize that some project work can feel repetitive, and we’re always exploring ways to diversify assignments and expand development opportunities across teams. Because our projects focus on supporting the public sector, compensation may differ from private-sector roles. However, this work also comes with meaningful benefits: stronger job stability, mission-driven work, and the opportunity to make a tangible impact in the local communities we serve. We regularly review market data and project structures to ensure we continue offering competitive compensation, growth opportunities, and diverse project experiences wherever possible. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback.
