Pros

One of the UK's last Great Companies. Poised for massive growth. Truly multinational, great opportunities . A new wave of technologies coming to market right now.

Cons

Raft of new leaders with no industry knowledge, but they are great new people too. Very easy to get passed over if you get stuck into the work, and don't actively promote yourself. Derby is not an exciting, or cultured city. You need to commute to work, or else for culture and entertainment. Development focuses on grads and a small high potential pool, but have already said you have to drive your own development, then it is amazing what can be on offer. As some people have pointed out, there is a lot of process, but RR can't be like Google in some ways because the products and services are normally safety critical and in highly regulated industries. So if you don't like process, and controls, then aerospace, nuclear and other industries aren't a natural fit for you.

Working with great people makes such a difference day to day – it's good to hear that's been a real part of your experience. We hear you on internal progression – career growth can feel different for everyone, and we know we've still got work to do to make development paths clearer. Feedback like yours really helps us move in the right direction.

Thanks for sharing, sounds like you’ve had some great people around you – that kind of support makes a huge difference. It’s also encouraging to hear the company direction is coming through as a positive. Location is a personal factor, and we appreciate you sharing that as part of your overall experience.
