Pros

There are some brilliant engineers at Romax. Generally a nice working environment with a positive can-do attitude. Flexible working, nice office space and nice to be on campus. Pay is generlaly fair I think.

Cons

Middle Management can be (mostly, not all) useless, they generally lack the right qualifications and/or experience in the areas they are assigned to lead, many demonstrate zero leadership or managerial skills, and cannot make good decisions, or in some cases any decisions at all. One head of department is particularly toxic (and incompetent), many people know it, but no-one appears to want to do anything about it. No career opportunities. No clearly defined strategy or objectives, and some of the management generally lack the ability to listen to the individuals who know what needs to be done and why. There is no plan, literally no plan at all, with only very basic resource management, and so the only reason things generally get done and get done well are because of the proactive engineers who work well with one another to muddle through. This can be very stressful at times and it’s basically because the department is unorganised and lacks leadership.

Thank you for your feedback and the positives of working at Romax, lots of our employees share these opinions so it is good to have them confirmed. In terms of the less positive feedback, sometimes middle managers need development and some are new into their jobs too, so please talk to your Head of Departments or HR so we can help identify and fix the gaps. Toxic is a very strong word, we don’t in our view employ anyone who is toxic. If you have any feedback with examples please speak to that person’s manager so they are fully aware of the issues and can discuss with the person concerned to make sure poor behaviours are not tolerated.
