Rolls-Royce reviews

- Promotions are biased. - People are lazy and closed-minded. - Diversity. - Management training. - Training (what training?) - Recognition (what recognition?) - No accountability. I didn't have my orientation for weeks after I was hired (this should be on day 1!). Training was a joke. I was shown a process once and asked to replicate it a month later. It's very much a sink or swim mentality. Expect no award or recognition for your contribution to the company. Many of my coworkers came straight from college, internship or have otherwised worked at RR so long they have become complacent and closed-minded. It's very hard to get people to identify processes and become proactive instead of reactive. Some are lazy, and only care to take the easy road, not the most beneficial or realistic. Management needs training, lots of training. They lack social skills, fostering and the ability to lead. They micromanage, show preferential treatment, lack delegation and communication skills. Promotions are extremely disappointing... they're based mostly on networking and likability, not merit and accomplishments. A most important failure for me by this company is their inability to understand the importance of diversity and cultivate an environment where all people are welcomed and promoted regardless of your race, religion, gender, or sexual-orientation. You will see little to no minorities in leadership roles which makes people question how far they (as a minority) can grow within the company.

- In contrast to its peers, Rolls-Royce has a poor view of learning and development of its employees. In 2 years, my colleagues and I have been rebuffed for every training request on non-business grounds. - Low morale and disengaged employees due to major company restructure and 4500 job cuts in 2018 - top-heavy management structure and heavily process driven, mean you spend 70-90% of your time dealing with tactical work and bureaucracy, not what you were employed to do. This infringes on work-life balance because the important work needs to be done in your own time! - Many dysfunctional departments, such as IT , Finance and Procurement where there is a lack of transparency and accountability. It is easy to hide in this large organisation - hopefully the restructure will change this. - I would question the reality of ethical practices. The yearly published 'Code of Conduct' is quickly becoming lip service. I have seen 3 people in my department bullied and forced out of their jobs by a toxic manager. The ethics line, HR and senior management have purposefully ignored pleas for help. - Slow career progression. If you are looking for a quiet job where you will not be challenged. aren't interested in growth and want a regular pay-cheque, this is a good place to work.
