Pros

The products & technology you will be exposed to at Rolls-Royce are interesting & challenging. There are quite a few good people & many are exceptionally intelligent. It is very hard to get fired, so the job is very stable.

Cons

There is a "consensus culture", where many different opinions & approvals are needed before anything can be done. Part of this is big business, but it seems especially bad here. Leadership is, at best, simply bad at communicating. At worst, they seem a bit clueless. The company is made up of "silos" and "fiefdoms", with different functions & businesses vying for control. This, of course, makes it hard to get anything done or changed for the better.
