review for company - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) Roke Manor Research

The AI generated marketing propaganda.

It is only a matter of time before it will come to light like the Titan Submarine disaster or the Theranos scandal that Roke is a company based on flawed engineering technology. Roke is a small company, severely financially stressed, struggling to 'scale-up' because it is fundamentally flawed, unethical, lacking foundation in any project management or engineering lifecycle process. Roke recruit people (graduates, young professionals, academics and veterans, etc.) as "bottoms on seats" where resources are dumped into unsuitable projects, lacking any training or experience in defence context and/or basic technical systems engineering competence. Graduates and civilians are tasked to develop tests for complex military systems, without review, training or experience, so in effect, marking their own homework. Management actively carry out actions to threaten, abuse and bully, deceive, cheat or gain unfair advantage, for monetary gain. This implies dishonest, criminal or deceitful intent, involving misrepresented statistics, flawed test processes and false declarations. Extremely poor technical management causes severe stress and harm and damage to its employees. HR are complicit in failing to investigate grievances and a safety-related 'protected disclosure' that is in the public interest.

Interesting, technically engaging work Friendly and approachable colleagues Clear ambition in projects and delivery

Transition from contract to permanent can take some adjustment. Lots of interesting work available, which can make it hard to choose what to get involved in.
