Rolls Royce Employer Reviews

Many ex military employees makes the environment very calm and focused. Camaraderie is very strong. Professional and goal oriented. Very safe.

This was a Very good job. i loved working for this company it had a very productive out look at buisness and service in general, it was also very well known there for a pleasure to be associated with.

Rolls-Royce has grown as a company in the time that I worked there. A "ship" as big as Rolls-Royce is sometimes hard to turn, but as far as stability and great co-workers, I really appreciated my time there.

I am presently employed at Rolls-Royce trying to cost reduce their existing existing engine models and also new designs that re presently being introduced. My management and co-workers are terrific and I enjiy working here, but since I am not with my family life become difficult.

I am presently looking for emplyment closer to my home on Hilton Head – more... Island, SC. Working in Savannah would be better then living in a hotel. – less

I worked in several different departments for the company in Administrative Assistant positions to work when one of their employees was on medical leave or had to work in another area for a time. Management was always very appreciative of the work done and pleasant to work with. Co-workers were always pleasant and helpful if I needed something. The – more... hardest part of the job was knowing that it was only temporary. The most enjoyable part was getting to work while laid off using my work skills and experience. – less

Well positioned global organization with a strong product offering well positioned for future growth. The Supply Chain is maturing and a focus has been put on continuous improvment, cost reduction, and developing the organization. Various Purchasing roles can be very challenging as the environment is fast paced and at the same time a challenge given – more... the strict regulations applied to the Aerospace sector. Lots of opportunities for Supply Chain professionals and a great place to obtain valuable global exposure and experience. – less

The harder you work, the farther behind you become. Sometimes it is best to do nothing. Suggestions for process improvements are run through political filters as much as financial filters and seldom come into practice.

There is very little discourse between employees and management. Management does not care what the salaried employees have to say, – more... yet they give the Union leaders everything they ask for and more.

Constant reorganization leads to confusion and massive inefficiencies. Compressor parts are two months early while turbine parts are two months late. Hello? Doesn't Management know that the mechanics can't assemble and ship an engine until all the parts are there?

The most enjoyable part of the job is your co-workers. The hardest part of the job is seeing good people with 20+ years of experience walked out the door because they are the wrong race or too old. Overall, management likes to talk the talk, but they fail miserably when it is time to walk the walk. – less

RR Energy is a Delphi infested British Bureaucracy. One Delphi employee who joined RR Corporate Purchasing in early 2000 has brought along most of his Delphi (the bankrupt automotive supplier) coworkers and they are now trying to "transform" RR with their track record and experience at Delphi - the truth is that they get employee loyalty by hiring friends – more... and that leads to political leverage in a highly dysfunctional political organization struggling to deliver results. This nepotism exists in all organizations, but is especially rampant in Energy - Mount Vernon and “buddies” are hired at all levels with no one held accountable. In Mount Vernon, psychology majors, Aramark food supervisors, priests and UPS store employees are all hired as supplier quality "engineers" and technical managers because HR is clueless and so is upper management - both of which are churned out every two years or so to add to the chaos. Learned helplessness is very prevalent and the system is 'you scratch my back and I scratch yours'. Numbers and metrics are changed to hide true performance and meet year end goals. Sandbagging is also very prominent. RR's hiring philosophy is that 'a warm body is better than nobody', leading to incompetence at all levels. The company focuses on ‘good behavior’ to change culture, not realizing that skills and competency are fundamentally missing. RR struggles to retain world-class talent. Salary and benefits are very sub-par but in line with the low qualifications of personnel in quality and purchasing. The work environment and offices are in bad shape. Management has a 'naked king' approach to leading, favoring only the people who butter up and fake a positive appearance, get facials and wear ties for routine meetings only to keep their mouth shut since they have no relevant knowledge, experience or analytical thinking capabilities. World Class = GE, Siemens and Alstom. Stay away from Mount Vernon! – less

Not a typical corporation to be working in the U.S. They are all about management and care less about their employees.

Loved my time being apart of the Rolls-Royce family. Great benefits and great.

The typical day began with reviewing the customer requirements and converting the requriements to orders for production to build the engines in support of the manufacturers of the aircraft as well as sustainment support for the customers inclusive of the US Government meeting the contract guidlines along with import and export regulations.

I was able – more... to grow from administrative assistant to a major contributor in support of the customers both internal and external. I gained my SAP knowledge through Rolls-Royce that lead to my success with my current employer.

Management showed favoritism but made efforts to keep this at a minimum but the favoritism was always apparent. This was not true of all management but certainly those that played the political game.

The hardest part of the job was to insure one did not get caught up in the company politics.

The most enjoyable part of my experience with the company was the team effort and the able to deliver product to the customer in a timely manner as needed. – less

There are no typical days at work many days may bring different challenges and duties depending on priorities. I was able to learn a lot of new jobs and my co-workers were very helpful and encouraging during my learning process which never ends. Management is easy to talk to and anxious to help resolve issues involving problems with inventory or work – more... assignments and anything that is concerning the employees' ability to provide the best performance possible. The hardest part of the job was adapting to an entirely different work atmosphere than I was accustomed as well as the work I was preforming. I also found this the most enjoyable in that I was always learning new things. I enjoyed the challenge. – less

Good working environment, pleasant co-workers, and well managed project teams.

Company manufactures great products and service is strong in customer service. Great engineering department to continue reserach and development for next generation of their products.

The work is very easy after spending 25 years in the die design field. The people are very nice and the benefits and work atmosphere are very good.

Amply resourced organization with solid brand and growing portfolio. Experienced and displayed increased supply-chain agility and leadership over the past decade to support cost control needs and preserve margins.

Excellent employer with many opportunities. I wish I was still working there, I lost my job there in March of 2009 due to outsourcing. It was devistating to me and my family. I had worked for them for 31 years and had advanced from an hourly employee to a Supervisor of Facilities. I always had outstanding work performance ratings and was highly respected. – more... I loved working with the people there and helping my employees to over come any problems that came there way. I would welcome any opportunity to work for them again. – less
