Mount Vernon is quite possibly the least attractive Rolls-Royce location worldwide.

Business Outlook

Pros

Breadth of experience, interesting and usually engaging work, very smart and driven people, exciting global opportunities, respect for work/life balance when not in management.

Cons

A disheartening combination of old school union labor, the forced use of ineffective corporate processes, a crumbling facility that makes a circus tent look like the burj khalifa, and disconnected UK executive leadership. Wonderful company, but bad execution (in mount vernon).

Business Outlook

Pros

Good brand name and global locations. Not sure why people still like the brand name. Failed engines on A380 AND 747s and no mention on businessweek;'s global top 100 brands shows what this once renowned company is all about in the current day and age,

Cons

Functional silos, no accountability, extreme nepotism, no respect for technical competency, education and professional accomplishments outside of RR, frequent reorganizations, poor salary and benefits, high employee turnover,
