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.
