Pros

RTI has a compelling mission (To improve the human condition by turning knowledge into practice) and staff are very dedicated to fulfilling it through their work. Incredible benefits and opportunities for professional development.

Cons

RTI is so broad, diverse, and large for a research institute, it can often feel like a university because each group has a lot of autonomy and tends to act independently of each other.

RTI was a great organization to work for.

Pros

RTI takes time to orient staff and continually offers on line programs to satisfy requirements for advancement. Local and expat staff were treated fairly.

Cons

Sometimes a coterie of senior staff made decisions without getting input from the other senior staff members. As in many organizations involved in intrnational work, the home office was not always aware of field realities.

Great place to work, but not to make money

Pros

- Very good benefits (good insurance and retirement schemes, great vacation) - Excellent facilities (campus is generally new, spacious, and constantly being improved. Fairly new gym on-site) - Generally friendly and relaxed but productive working atmosphere - High quality staff (from my limited experience there were some very impressive people there) - Those in the field seem to be impressed with my having spent time there - Meritocratic promotion (to a point - see cons below) - Organization has performed very well in recent years, so there is a lot of growth

Cons

- Salaries are generally low. Don't expect a bonus to make up for it either - Structure is very hierarchical, based largely on academic qualifications. There is room for promotion and growth, but you may hit a glass ceiling fairly quickly. The only way past is to get the next degree up the scale.
