Pros

You quickly learn to become a jack of all trades that's able to be versatile and pivot to meet study needs. Fast pace environment is fulfilling for people who like working under the pressure of timelines. I personally enjoyed my time working there, the staff is all friendly and hospitable. RDI is definitely on the pace to grow into a larger more sustainable company, it would be a great place for anyone who wants to bring that vision in fruition.

Cons

It's hard to anticipate what you'll be working on day-to-day since it is a fast paced work environment where you'll be working on many studies. It's also a high pressure environment, which may not be suitable for some. Benefits aren't great, no vision benefits, no retirement match, you'll pay most of your insurance premiums.

Great Place To Work

Pros

RDI is a great company to work for. Everyone is extremely nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. Anytime I have a question someone is always available to help. RDI is a small company so I get to talk to the owner (Zohrab) and the CEO (Conall) every day! They are both very open to any suggestions on how to improve tasks and work very quickly to implement changes. Everyone works as a team to get tasks completed quickly. Work-Life balance with RDI is fantastic. I work from home and my manager is very accommodating with appointments, sick kids, etc. RDI is one of the best companies I have worked for. I can't wait to see what the RDI team will do in the future.

Cons

I think RDI is a great company to work for and have no cons to list.

Revamped RDI on the rise

Pros

Despite the negative reviews here from employees in years past, RDI has actually put in the time and effort to revamp their business model, SOPs, work culture & project team. The project team members are all great to work with & the new addition of a lab director, product strategist, and Senior VP of Ops has really strengthened the leadership of the company and has placed responsibility in the hands of people who know what they are doing. The company is in a transition period, but the direction they are headed in is positive. Backed by investors and with new team members coming in soon who are ready to make a change, RDI is an intriguing place for opportunity and growth. Standardization of workplace practices has also been implemented.

Cons

- depending on your personal work style, CEO's work style can be difficult to work with -Very small company so be ready to take on responsibilities out of your usual job description/ comfort zone
