Pros

Great people, good holiday and good starting salary

Get told one thing, then changes the next. Also had 5 manager changes in less than a year. If you’re below grade 8 you get messed around a lot

Many thanks for posting a review, we always appreciate our current employees taking the time to do this. We are really pleased to hear that you are enjoying the excellent benefits we receive, along with our great people who contribute to the fantastic culture at RSSL. We can appreciate that experiencing several management changes in a short period can feel unsettling. While five managers is certainly unusual, there are times when transitions occur for positive reasons — including promotions, secondments, parental leave, internal moves, or broader strategic shifts. These changes reflect the agility and growth of our business, and the kind of opportunity many colleagues value as part of a dynamic career journey. We always aim to provide consistency, clarity, and thoughtful handovers during periods of change. If this wasn’t your experience, we’d welcome your feedback to help us improve. Our Managing Director is currently hosting development and career conversations across the business — please feel free to reach out directly if you’d like to discuss how we can better support your goals.
