Pros

Great people to work with at RRI, have a role that is very challenging but the recourses and support are readily available and receive plenty of recognition on breakthroughs

Cons

Still "small" in the grand schemes of government work. Relies on being a sub-contractor which means lack of control during the bidding process. But the company is growing so this will change soon.

Riverside Research Response

We believe that recognition for your efforts are important, and we value everyone who contributes to the national security missions we take on. We are a growth-oriented company and are focused on earning and creating more opportunities while continuing to provide the benefits and support our current workforce needs to thrive.
