Rolls-Royce Employee Reviews

Hard work, good flexibility, opportunity to have a positive impact. Going through a turbulent time during the pandemic but continued to support their people in the best way possible.

Some good, some bad

Design Engineer (Former Employee) - Derby, Derbyshire - 27 September 2023

Large scale design changes were interesting and challenging. Too many project managers and not enough people physically doing the job at hand. Recently there is less large scale design which dilutes the engineering challenge somewhat.

Lack of care for employees

Finance Assistant (Former Employee) - Derby, Derbyshire - 7 September 2023

Worked here for a couple years, lack of support throughout the outsourcing process. Lack of professionalism within managers and favouritism. Wouldn’t work here again, lead to a lot of mental health issues

Golden handcuffs

metal polisher (Former Employee) - Barnoldswick, Lancashire - 6 September 2023

No sense of flexibility or ingenuity allowed within such a suffocating corporate structure. I got laid a lot but only learned a lot of business bulls… lingo.

Relaxed workplace, great people

Maintenance Engineer (Current Employee) - Derby, Derbyshire - 14 August 2023

Love the people I work with, none of the managers are ever on your back. A very relaxed atmosphere, overall great place to be. Not very many group activities ever organised, but that could just be my site/team

The money is good but does involve shift work. There is usually overtime available at the weekends. The support from HR is good as is occupational health

Good place to work, slow

Inspector (Current Employee) - Derby - 9 August 2023

Good pay & benefits. Very slow and bureaucratic, they need to advance and apply some kind of standardization. Coming from a P&W shop to RR is a real shock. Being used to ACE ect, RR is stuck in the 2000s

Great people but too much pressure

Design Engineer (Current Employee) - Bristol - 25 July 2023

Thoroughly thought that the company is made of good people but blanket policy decisions, lack of staff in crucial positions, and lack of time devoted to non-critical path items means that the workday can often feel like a treadmill that gets faster by the day with no end in sight.

Great company poorly managed

Maintenance Engineer (Former Employee) - Hucknall, Nottinghamshire - 23 July 2023

Fantastic company to work for but managed poorly from the top down. Endless rounds of redundancies every few years to balance the books. Company perks and pay are good.

Capable work force, committed to quality but lacking culture

Manufacturing Engineering Manager (Current Employee) - Derby - 2 July 2023

I have worked at RR for many years, it is a great place to work as an engineer. You get to be around incredibly smart and focused people with really high tech. things and there are a great deal of internal opportunities to grow and learn. Work can be high pressure but the support from your peers is excellent.If you wish, you could stay in a role for a lifetime and become a specialist or move around the company and try many different and diverse roles.I find everyone is committed to safety and quality.Flexible working opportunities are fantastic and work-life balance is great.One gripe I have is that there really isn't much of a work culture, cost cutting over the years has eliminated anything I would class as even remotely interesting about the work environment. Don't expect much socialising, Christmas parties or anything - unless you're going to arrange it yourself. Depending on where you're based your canteen options could be OK or extremely limited.

Pros

Flexible working

Cons

No work culture

Company going backwards

Fitter (Former Employee) - Derby - 1 June 2023

Too many new staff including management who do not follow process or comply to rules and ask personnel to break safety rules to achieve job quotas, so i can only see the business failing in the future.
