Pros

top quality products and engineering, Potential for leadership to transform the corporate environment. Name brand of company is a big help on CV.

Cons

institutionalised work force - too many RR lifers who are stuck in and only protecting their pensions. Difficult (if not impossible) to actually effect any change. Management systems are over engineered to death. Pressure on top management to produce results - the clock is ticking on John Rishton - and poor/no bonuses for management based on lack of results.

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.

Thanks for sharing, sounds like you’ve had some great people around you – that kind of support makes a huge difference. It’s also encouraging to hear the company direction is coming through as a positive. Location is a personal factor, and we appreciate you sharing that as part of your overall experience.
