Limited opportunities in programme and project manager but good place to work in other areas - Technical Programmer Manager Roke Manor Research Employee Review

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.

Having spent nearly four years at Roke, I can truly say it is one of the best companies I have worked for. I am incredibly proud of our work and feel privileged to work with such talented individuals whose innovative work I cannot even begin to understand. Of course, like any business, we have had both good and bad days, but I can honestly say that Roke care about their employees and provide a lot of support when needed, as I have experienced myself recently. While there are some areas for improvement, I have nothing but positive to say about Roke. It is all about your personal outlook on life and appreciation. It can be challenging as is every business, but I feel like I am here for the long haul and I am excited about what is to come.

Career progression and L&D feels limited at the moment, however, I’m aware that new career pathways are being developed which is encouraging
