Has anyone worked at Rolls Royce in Derby? Been approached about a gig there, which looks kind of interesting...

Full of ex military types who don't look kindly on "civilians". If you can handle the working environment there is a lot of interesting stuff happening there.

Been approached about work with RR several times in the past via different agencies, but the rates are/were always 5hite, so I never pursued them any further.

I know a few who work there - SC is required...

I'm ex-military (1980 - 2002) with SC clearance :-)

Was there a few years ago shortly after HP took over EDS, there was still an 'us' and 'them' mentality, spent most of it waiting for something to do. Building is mostly devoid of windows but the parking and access was fine.

Utter carp place. Projects largely disorganised, no communication, poor PMs & generally not a nice bunch of people at all. More time spent with people trying to blame someone & talk about stuff endlessly, bugger all doing.

Saps all your energy & after 3 weeks sat on my arse waiting for a supposedly 'ready' project, I got fed up & walked. As did a few other guys. Final straw was them getting arsey about parking. New gig 2 days later.

That said some of the other poor sods (contractors) I met during my time there were diamond. They were pissed off too.

Just been invited to interview. Money is indeed not very much, but its closer to home (almost commutable) and the job looks interesting. A colleaugue has ex-forces contacts in there who will hopefully give me a heads up on what the place is like.

One step at time :-)
