Prós
Before TT acquisition, lots of support for lots of diverse groups and open atmosphere. My coworkers are still caring and supportive - as would have been expected from a previously inclusive company. Lots of us are neurodiverse and share openly our experiences. A lot of my colleagues are hard working and passionate for ecology; they care and still manage to offer good service to clients. All of my colleagues are inclusive, we work across offices fairly regularly and entire ecology team is generally close knit.

Recent developments in American politics have caused RPS to pause ERGs and stop advertising inclusivity due to pressure from Tetra Tech. Concerns for US govt contracts have somehow made work harder for UK employees of often discriminated against characteristics such as neurodiversity, ethnicity and queer identities. Communication on the topic has been flimsy and constant reminders of their abidance to UK Equality Act 2010 is used as an cop out for their behaviour.
