Great people to work with but experience tainted by inadequate project resourcing and mandatory work outsourcing - Thermals Analyst Rolls-Royce Employee Review

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly, intelligent colleagues, interesting technical engineering tasks. Lots of very intersting courses to attend. Good on site catering (COSTA).

Cons

regular pressure to work unpaid extra hours to meet project deadlines, difficult to balance this with spending time with young family and having a 2 hour daily commute. Business now very much in a cost reduction phase means that pressure on already stretched specialist engineers is likely to rise over the coming 18months. Significant pressure to prepare and hand over / manage engineering and analysitcal work to 3rd party consultants. Pay and rewards likely to be vestigial over the coming months.

Pros

Working with the people here is fantastic

Cons

Hard to get promoted within the same role and external offers are very attractive

Rolls-Royce Response

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.
