Pros

- Working with advanced automotive technology within a dynamic environment proves positively challenging - Qualitative trainings and opportunities to develop skills not only for current roles, but also future responsibilities - Excellent work-life balance - Paid overtime if required and generally good remuneration for a graduate scheme - Good management (but this can vary)

Cons

- The graduate scheme in JLR is vastly different between teams and departments; this is not initially specified and can lead to predicaments such as no placements in other departments - Management can have the tendency not to acknowledge graduate strengths and passions hence guiding them in the direction they see fit - Work can be rather monotonous and static - Change is very slow - Lack of new challenges - A gentle learning curve which does not challenge the individual or get one of of one's comfort zone

Pros

- Amazing work culture and work life balance - As a designer the world is your oyster of how you want to grow and develop - Manager is amazing at communicating your needs and empathizing with you - Everyone is driven to be a better designer and so much support from everyone

Cons

- Having to work sometimes really early or nighttime due to time zone differences with some of the people we work with - Projects & goals sometimes have to change in the week to better fit business needs and team goals.

Pros

Great work life balance Supportive environment

Cons

If you fall in the less than 3 years experience bucket, your best shot is the new graduate positions which have terrible pay and full-time employment after 2-years is not guaranteed.
