Pros
The customers are interesting to work with, providing a good variety of interesting technical challenges. The standard of the engineering staff is very good.
Kontras
The level of morale is appallingly low, with senior leadership often attempting to bully staff rather than provide incentives for them. The pension is very poor with pay below industry standards, particularly in comparison to direct competitors. The company largely fails to pay bonuses due to unrealistic targets. There is no clear career development and it isn’t currently clear who you would discuss such opportunities with as a restructure has effectively removed the line management function. Senior management, having moved to a separate office away from staff are aloof and invisible. Needless to say they are not in touch with what is going on in the engineering departments at Roke.
