Resource Data reviews

Well, benefits are average to crummy. Pay seems average across the industry for Anchorage - maybe a titch lower than some options, but also higher than others. Paid holidays are only 6 per year. Leave (total - combined sick and holiday) is 3 weeks for the first 3 years. Yes, the company is very flexible with leave without pay, but if standard sick leave is 2 weeks/year, that means effectively 1 week of vacation. Lastly, the employee share of medical costs recently doubled (for a single person, the lowest cost plan went from $86/mo to $170/mo). I know this is part of a larger issue of health care costs in this country, but wow nonetheless.

- Poor compensation and benefits. The compensation was in the bottom 10% of computer science majors. 401k match is 50% on every dollar but only up to a pretty dismal 3% of your salary. Some companies offer 50 cents on every dollar up to 6% and some offer a full dollar on every dollar up to 3%, but Resource Data has the worst of both worlds in this regard. Also the 401k plan only allows you to pick from a selection of index funds and you have to pay a $100 fee every year just for the privilege of picking how you invest your own money. Health insurance costs are truly unbelievable. I was paying nearly $550 a month to cover my family and that was before the cost increase that they recently announced. They don't offer any other compelling perks like gym membership, transportation reimbursement, or equity. Also paid company lunches were only offered once a week. - Slow paced and conservative work environment despite the small size. - Lackluster career advancement opportunities. No tuition reimbursement of any sort. No formalized employee growth plan system. No career development training unless required for your client. The mentorship system that is in place is more about helping you get your work done rather than helping you rapidly advance your career. - Company is kind of stuck in the past regarding work from home. The job is entirely doable from home and yet they refuse to make many positions fully remote. I worked from home almost the entire time I worked there and yet they still act like they want people to return to the office. - Bad clients. While many of the people at Resource Data are great, some clients can be really difficult to work with. Rather than having RDI manage all aspects of a project, you can end up contracted out to a project manager at another company who might have no clue what they're doing.
