Pros

Motivated colleagues, high-impact work, great benefits and work-life balance, ambitious programs and super knowledgable leadership

Cons

Lack of expertise at the entry level in specific technical fields. RMI seems to be great as an aggregator of external knowledge but could do with some more technical experts in-house

Pros

Used to be a highly respected organization, used to be very supportive and flexible towards employees, quality of the job and leadership attitude towards employee needs has severely degraded

Cons

No opportunity for advancement or promotion. Everyone is expected to work beyond their job title for at least a year before even being considered for promotion, with promotion still being contingent on funding and not merit. Experience is very dependent on your manager, but there are very few competent managers available, and leadership generally lacks people skills and fails to give consideration to the needs of their employees. The new rotational associate program is ineffective and predator, taking advantage of overly qualified employees in entry level, underpaid positions.
