Pros

Some very good people work at Rolls-Royce which is why RR products have the potential to be world class. RR claims to ave good people management but the fine words and glossy brochures are not backed up by the right behaviours and actions

Cons

The good employees are let down by very poor leadership which has employees chasing after badly set targets to the detriment of providing value added activities. managers are promoted based on whether their face fits and who they know, not on technical or leadership ability. This is crippling the company

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.
