      Pros

      -Defense job so pay is higher for 'embedded' software engineers starting out but nowhere near FAANG. -Work-life-balance most of the time. -Good Benefits -To outsiders RR brand sounds 'fancy' so you can impress your friends -Potential Travel

      Cons

      -UK company. Non-defense project I was on tended to play second-fiddle to European teams -Corporate Job, so you have to deal with everything that goes with that. -Not a 'software company' (lower pay) -IT (what is not contracted out) will fight with you during the development process all the way, citing security but offering no solutions. Felt a lot of my job was just fighting bureaucracy to allow me to just do my job. -Jobs tend to pigeon-hole (stay too long and you will only be useful at RR) -Old/outdated processes- NOT high-speed -DEI Kool-aid -Mandated Covid Vaccinations -LARGE company, so useful development experience is limited. -in-fighting between internal organizations

      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.
