Pros

- Amazing support staff (Facilities, Marketing, EHS etc all brilliant people) - Beautiful location and extensive grounds for walks - Good Benefits - Lovely facilities inc. canteen, gym etc.

Cons

- Roke seem to be losing all their good people! - Lack of communication, behind the scenes planning without informing their staff - Lack of trust of staff - They don’t want to hear your ideas if it doesn’t fit their agenda - Massively varied pay amongst staff who are the same grade - Not much opportunity for progression

Pros

Having spent nearly four years at Roke, I can truly say it is one of the best companies I have worked for. I am incredibly proud of our work and feel privileged to work with such talented individuals whose innovative work I cannot even begin to understand. Of course, like any business, we have had both good and bad days, but I can honestly say that Roke care about their employees and provide a lot of support when needed, as I have experienced myself recently. While there are some areas for improvement, I have nothing but positive to say about Roke. It is all about your personal outlook on life and appreciation. It can be challenging as is every business, but I feel like I am here for the long haul and I am excited about what is to come.

Cons

Career progression and L&D feels limited at the moment, however, I’m aware that new career pathways are being developed which is encouraging
