Pros

Could help you learn a lot of things as a fresher. Provides better exposure for a beginner. Peers are motivating and helps you get better.

Cons

Bad work-life balance. Severely bad pay scale which might reduce motivation and performance. Management is getting better but still has a long way to go. The organization makes freshers to sign bonds which not really the best suit for a reputed company that really cares about the employees, which i mostly think this is a failsafe to prevent the freshers from abandoning or quitting the organization due to the low pay. Depending on the team, the work pressures may vary but certain teams are tightly packed with sprint tasks making it difficult to focus on personal tasks and even mentally drain employees. The organization should really start a mentorship program which could help the employees get better at what they do. Also what I noticed off late is that the management has become quite the miser by cutting costs on essential refreshments and employee well-being and even events like the annual day.

Hi there - and thank you for leaving your review. I'm glad to read you feel people starting their careers would benefit a lot from joining our organisation. We're currently in the process of looking at improving our Learning and Development offering across the entire organisation and hope that this will bring about positive experiences for everyone to develop their skillsets, knowledge and careers with us. In the past, I think we have started various mentorship programmes to enable cross-team learning and support career development. It's something that myself and the team have discussed, particularly around onboarding however I'd welcome any ideas or suggestions you might have for us to embed this across the organisation. I'll share the rest of your feedback with the local People Team for investigation and further review and once again, welcome a conversation for further feedback and idea generation.

Pros

RM has a clean, nicely designed and well-lit office in the Milton Park complex. It is situated in beautiful Sutton Courtenay. There are some beautiful houses there. They lay on food quite regularly. It is mostly a friendly atmosphere.

Cons

Everyone was selling their houses in Sutton Courtenay because of the expansion of Didcot into their beautiful village. There was an awful sense of a cloud advancing over the land.
