Pros

Good training opportunity and salary benefits.

Cons

1. JLR is a good place to work, but not in all department. I did not enjoy the role in Quality Operation department, as lots of uncertainty on this role and direction changes every time. I was always worried about my future especially prior to new financial year. 2. Lots Manufacturing operators promoted to Engineering role, are not really qualified for the job. An Engineering Graduate spends more than 4-6 years to gain engineering degrees, however, in JLR a manufacturing operator get promoted to engineer without engineering knowledge-it is a shame to work with them as shoulder to shoulder. This in balance situation unskill engineer is not good for nothing and not good for JLR.

- 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.
