Pros

Great co-workers who are very knowledgeable, loyal and always willing to help you out Interesting products, work is challenging and satisfying Huge order book, resulting in AEC investing in a new state-of-the-art facility Good work/life balance

Cons

The company seems to have taken a huge step backwards since Rolls-Royce took over. Objectives and priorities often change due to knee-jerk reactions. They have taken away almost all incentives to progress and take on more responsibility, as well as no longer being interested in developing and retaining their employees. Too much red tape & politics

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.
