Rolls-Royce reviews

- Getting technically promoted in role for engineers is a lot of work (would be easier to shift job and jump into management) - Often stressful, a lot of pressure from seniors - Some bad culture higher up, with old outdated beliefs, such as you should be working a certain number of days in the office - Painful IT issues, slow to update kit - Lots of corporate BS and buzzwords - Many meetings which waste your time - Unethical products, i.e. submarines and across the defence sector - Unsustainable business / products bad for the climate, which they are making noise about changing but there are elements of performative action rather than real action - Managers who get promoted into those roles without support, training or experience to help them succeed - I burnt out some years ago due to the pressure and stress, which they failed to grasp why / the gravity of it - Lots of bureaucracy - Everything takes ages to complete/implement

Teams and company is badly managed. No proper processes in place. Managers are nice but cannot manage team properly. Wrong people getting promoted for the wrong reasons and so don't know how to manage a team and can't help or do the day to day job! Focusing on the wrong issues. Issues with processes and workload are not being fully resolved and give workarounds instead. Employees concerns are not heard. Connections will help you with promotion more than actual workload.
