Pluspunten

Great and intelligent hard-working people. Collaborative work culture and interesting and diverse projects which enable you to learn/utilise varying skills.

Minpunten

Many people (including myself) were often without projects, so we were on the bench for relatively long durations. I also think during the time I was there, Roke were trying to grow far too aggressively (by bringing in countless heads), which again, resulted in too few projects for too many people.

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.

Pluspunten

I’m still relatively early in my time here, but my experience so far has been genuinely positive. I’ve had a good amount of autonomy in my role, which has allowed me to actually make an impact rather than feel boxed in. Collaborating with different business units has also been a highlight — people have been open, supportive, and willing to share knowledge. The leadership shown by our new MD has made a noticeable difference. There’s a clearer direction and some much‑needed energy behind the changes that are happening. It feels like the company is in a real period of growth, and while there’s definitely a lot still in motion, it’s exciting to be part of it. That said, I’ve read through the more critical reviews on here, and I can understand where some of those concerns come from. Not everything is perfect, and the organisation is still ironing out processes and ways of working as it scales. But from my own experience, there’s been real improvement, a drive for change and a sense that things are moving the right way. Overall, a good place to be if you like ownership, want to collaborate widely across the business, and are comfortable working through a bit of change while the company grows.

Minpunten

None I can think of right now.
