Atrocious people management: opiniones de empleados con el puesto de Graduate Engineer en Roke Manor Research

Communication from the senior leadership team (SLT) is nonexistent. Line managers are often the last people to hear about things, and policies either change on a whim, aren't followed, or are never published in the first place. Graduates and apprentices are treated as if they are cheaper regular engineers and, beyond an initial bootcamp, the graduate scheme may as well not exist. Particularly poor around compensation. Salary is below market rates. Graduate pay is reviewed at the 6, 12, and 18-month points. Company announced an additional pay review between 12 and 18 months due to particularly good income projections, but then subtracted the amount added in this review from planned increases at the 18-month point. Promotion from the graduate scheme is at 24 months. In 2022, the pay increase offer for promoted graduates was both well below inflation and lower year-on-year than the offer given in 2021. Graduates were given 4 days to decide whether to accept the offer. This deadline was not communicated until day 3, and then only to certain line management groups. Despite pushing diversity, inclusion, and equality, fall seriously short in effectively drafting policies to actually accomplish this.
