Rolls-Royce reviews

-No experience outside R-R counts -Stupid cost reductions -Old age mentality -Bureaucratic -Stupid career structure......Experience is valued more than actual capability -Management talk is more appreciated than truth. Wooly soft words where accuracy is needed -Politics even in technical matters -Agile workplace? The way to cram more people in the same room? Giant Open space? How can someone concentrate there?

Appalling management and treatment of its employees. This is very much luck of the draw as to who you get. Those that are decent won't get on and you soon end up working for some self serving types. HR are utterly useless and generally don't care about the employees at all. They are not going to be interested in sorting anything out, not just my experience. Get a bad manager and you think talking to them might help. Processes and procedure so out of touch with what people have to do to make anything work. So much time is wasted on ridiculous things that should just work. Engineers are hugely undervalued, but not going though the latest round of redundancies, they can't get enough of them and I'm not surprised as I certainly wouldn't go back. Other supporting departments are still being culled though. If you are an engineer there are challenges there, but not technically, just trying to get the job done takes more effort than the complexities of a gas turbine.
