Pros

Flexible schedule. Options to try different careers without leaving company. Good fit for generalists and salespeople.

Cons

No training. Poor compensation. Employee turn-over extraordinaire. Benefits are expensive and are even more expensive for 2016. Expertise is not paid correctly in any of the career tracks. More emphasis on billable hours than quality of work. Company reputation not always positive. Career opportunities are tied to you doing sales and becoming an account manager.

Resource Data Response

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and I apologize for a delayed response. Over the past several years our turnover has been tracking close to industry norms; however, we strive to be the best and are working to improve this. One example of something we started last year was an employee focus group made up of representatives from all branches. They meet monthly with the goal of implementing ideas to enhance and expand the RDI culture, which is core to our employee-oriented business. The group continues to meet in 2016. It is true, we have a small marketing staff; as a consulting firm, we rely on our reputation and referrals to drive new business. Ideally, employees will be engaged in looking for new opportunities, but this is by no means a requirement. If you have gotten that impression, I urge you to talk to your manager and clarify expectations. I also appreciate you bringing up the concerns about compensation and career opportunities. We are constantly working on improving our benefit options and in 2016 rolled out a no-cost health insurance option for employees. Based on feedback from you and other employees, we are doing further research on market salaries and proactively making adjustments. The success of RDI is dependent on the success of our employees and our goal is to provide long-term employment and career development. I urge you to continue talking to your manager and HR about opportunities and ways to continue developing your career at RDI.

Pros

- Great pay and very interesting work - Management structure is not complicated, if you want to talk to someone higher up about something, you pretty much always can - Very supportive and diverse environment. Many of the senior management and executive board are women. Personally I began my gender transition here and the CEO herself and all of upper management really was incredibly supportive, I would not be who I am today without these people - The employees really do come first. I had talks with management about how the company would handle financial issues out of my own curiosity. Not only did they sincerely address my inquiries, but each and every measure and plan centered around keeping things stable for employees

Cons

- It is work based around contracts so the flow of work can be stressful at points but overall there was always someone to talk to when you needed to meaningfully effect change

Pros

- Great Co-Workers - Interesting, frequently changing work - Fully transparent management and strategies - Career growth - Professional growth - Hybrid schedule if not deployed onsite full time - Work life balance is not only respected but it is expected. You will never work over 40 hours a week unless you want to.

Cons

- Lower than average salaries, which could change in the near future per management. - Raises are capped at 5% and will only come during your annual review. If you attain a promotion, your pay will most likely be moved as well. - Some might see this as a con, I see it as a pro but most don't share my thinking so I will put it here; Standard here are extremely high. For what they ask of a senior is something you would find most leaders in the IT field unable to do consistently. You have to be on your A game every day here.
