Thanks for sharing your experience. We want Rolls-Royce to be a place where colleagues feel respected, supported and able to do their best work, and it’s disappointing to hear that this hasn’t been your experience. Leadership and culture play a key role in how people experience work day to day, and feedback like this helps us understand where that experience isn’t landing as intended.
