RTI International, one of the oldest and most prestigious among Research Triangle Park-based companies, is the No. 6 firm on the second annual Forbes magazine list of America’s Best Employers for mid-sized companies.
“It is a tremendous honor to be recognized as a Forbes best employer,” said RTI President and CEO Wayne Holden, in a statement. “Inclusion in this list confirms our commitment to providing our staff members with a great place to work that supports them in their efforts to improve the human condition by turning knowledge into practice.”

Employees were asked to rate their employers in a variety of categories.
“We are so pleased that employees see RTI as a premier organization to work for, and we will work to continue providing our staff with the environment and resources they need to excel,” said Lisa May, RTI executive vice president of Human Resources.
