Turned me off to Corporate Gigs

Embedded software engineer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

-Defense job so pay is higher for 'embedded' software engineers starting out but nowhere near FAANG. -Work-life-balance most of the time. -Good Benefits -To outsiders RR brand sounds 'fancy' so you can impress your friends -Potential Travel

Cons

-UK company. Non-defense project I was on tended to play second-fiddle to European teams -Corporate Job, so you have to deal with everything that goes with that. -Not a 'software company' (lower pay) -IT (what is not contracted out) will fight with you during the development process all the way, citing security but offering no solutions. Felt a lot of my job was just fighting bureaucracy to allow me to just do my job. -Jobs tend to pigeon-hole (stay too long and you will only be useful at RR) -Old/outdated processes- NOT high-speed -DEI Kool-aid -Mandated Covid Vaccinations -LARGE company, so useful development experience is limited. -in-fighting between internal organizations

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting jobs, good people to work with, option to partly work from home for most roles. If you want a STEM career this is a good choice.

Cons

Slow progression. Targets and goals start the year as very important but rarely count for much at year end.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for being part of Rolls-Royce for the past two decades. It’s good to know the work still feels interesting and that you’re surrounded by great people. With your experience, your perspective on development really matters. We’re putting more focus into making growth paths clearer, and feedback like yours helps guide that.
