Pros

There are a few really smart people there and if you are lucky enough to be on the same projects it can be a great learning experience. For coders, they have some interesting/challenging problems to solve. Work-life balance is really good. The company is very willing to invest in people fresh out of college with no real-world experience. It's a great first job. Developers are provided with good hardware and all the necessary tools.

Cons

I've notice that employee experience can vary wildly, dependent upon the projects you're first placed in. In my opinion, the promotional structure is odd. Upper management feels that you should already be filling a role to be promoted into it. You likely won't ever get promoted unless you force their hand and if you ask for a promotion outside of annual review time they'll tell you to wait for your review. Turnover rate seems high which really hinders any greater sense of community. Pay isn't the best. Benefits aren't great.

Pros

Variety of projects, flexible hours and work from home options. Good tech equipment, well maintained. Little oversight (half pro half con). Management staff is intelligent and capable, but not very tuned in.

Cons

Low pay for the area, significant detachment of management, difficult to coordinate when all project peers are remote. Varying degrees of formality in software design process, not even partly standardized and constantly changing. Reclusive culture. Growing way too fast, blatantly unsustainable.

Pros

RDI was absolutely the best place I have ever worked. Endless opportunities for personal growth within the company, flexible hours (including the ability to telecommute on occasion if necessary), decent benefits, and very competitive salary (with annual raises based on performance - and if you do well, these raises can be very generous!). RDI really encourages collaboration, not competition, and due to their very high hiring standards, almost everybody you work with is knowledgeable, smart, and willing to do their part (the few bad seeds that make it through the hiring process are weeded out pretty quickly).

Cons

I don't know if this is necessarily a downside, but you *are* expected to be smart, learn fast, and work hard. This doesn't mean you will be fired if you slack off one day, or even if your project fails to meet its deadline or be under budget, but RDI depends on contracts and therefore, depends upon its employees to be both very intelligent and to consistently do their best. If you want a cushy job where you don't have work very hard, then this is not the job for you. (This also, I have heard, makes it hard to even get through the door.)
