Pros

Rolls-Royce has some wonderful people that are great to work with. This tends to hold true across functions and regions.

Cons

Extremely bureaucratic processes make it difficult to achieve objectives. The former CEO, John Rishton, set the company back several years with his poor decisions and lack of leadership.

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.
