Pros

This felt like such a con to me but in reality, the way the company urges their employees to take time for themselves, encourages that work life balance is something not all companies do these days. I mean, at first I was the one that was constantly trying to hoard my PTO but they made it pretty clear that wasn't the right or best choice. Leadership is supportive, they encourage a lot of company in person events for their local staff, and they do a lot within their benefits. The structure has changed a bit since I joined but with those growing pains is a lot of improvements to the over all structure and organization of the company.

Cons

biggest con is because of the size of the company, if your contract ends, they don't have as many opportunities to hold onto employees and move them to another contract these days. That has more to do with the current climate than RD itself but taking that into account, it does add a challenge for them.

Pros

-With almost 24 years of aerospace work experience and having worked for my fourth NASA contractor now (sixth company overall) I can say this is the best company I've worked for. -Starting from the CEO to management and down to the employees, everyone is treated with respect and is made to feel like they are what's most important, not the bottom line on the ledger. That translates into good communication, employee engagement, and straight up kindness. -HR is centralized and easy to get answers from either through an online hub or through the HR rep. -401k matching is on par with bigger companies in the government contracting world. -Flexible remote work scheduling. -If you do go in to the Laurel HQ office to work, it's a clean and comfortable environment (with free drinks and snacks provided!). -When NASA killed off programs, RDI employees weren't discarded as financial liabilities (as is sadly the case with other contractors in this industry). The CEO keeps you on and helps find work for you!

Cons

This is splitting hairs, but because the company isn't as big as other contractors (SAIC, KBR, ASRC, etc.) they can't bear the financial burden of some other ancillary benefits (i.e., free software subscriptions for employee home use, increased PTO, etc.). Again, small but not anything that hurts the employee. You're just "gilding the lily" at that point.

Pros

Management gets involved just enough to let you know they are there if/when you need anything. They keep tabs on how work is going and what they can provide to help you keep balance in your life. HR is always happy to go above and beyond answering questions and getting employees sorted out. Leadership clearly wants the environment to be a positive one where people work hard but they set an example with providing resources for employees to feel supported. In 20+ years working as a professional, I don't think I have had people pay such close attention to me in the little things. It is refreshing. And leadership is extremely approachable.

Cons

*It's a midsize company that is growing fast but they seem to be keeping on top of it better than most in this industry. *it is a difficult time to be a contracting company and RD is doing their best to keep not only their employees covered but looking to bring on great talent.
