Pros

RS is part of a growing industry. There are some nice people in the company.

Cons

It is really very sad to see how parts of the business are being destroyed by toxic managers and complicit senior management. This is particularly the case in the Innovation department. True talent is being pushed away and manipulative managers are being allowed to bully employees and destroy morale. When this is brought up to company's senior management or HR not only no action is taken to tackle the problem but the individual brining this up can say goodbye to their career at RS. All they are concerned about is their image. Just look at a number of fake Glassdoor reviews aimed at increasing the score and pushing the true reviews down the order. The best example is when someone posted an honest review of Business Change function and 4 days later a fake 5 star review is posted in response.

Pros

Nice bullet point on your CV and some good people Reasonably stable company Cushy lifestyle once your in the "inner circle"

Cons

You have to learn a new language and its called "RS speak" Not many people have a real job and those who don't really have a real job spend hours making processes and system complex to justify their pretyend positions. To many managers of managers, managing things that don't need managing Have to kiss a lot of arse to progress and this is obvious by those talentless individuals being paid a lot of money to make life more difficult.everyone else A global strategy that everyone pretends they understand but don't this includes senior managers Stay to long and you will never get another job outside of Corby.

Pros

Can be a nice place with some good and capable people. Good overarching strategy.

Cons

Very low level middle management who have no idea how to develop their people and deliver the wider strategy. It is only a place to do your job, not to develop a career. HR need to do stop posting reviews on here, face into the issues and fix them. Trying to skew the ratings on here mirrors the overall issue, which is that nobody really fixes anything, just pay lip service and patch over the cracks .
