Business Outlook

Pros

Secure job as little pressure applied to by management

Cons

Lack of tech "new" tech being used even when security is a concern (Visual Source Safe still implemented). Classic ASP still being embraced. Everything runs off MS Excel No drive to implement No cohesion in IT teams therefore making them essentially solo projects

Business Outlook

Pros

Large organisation with many exciting opportunities. Great products and world class innovations, huge amount of corporate pride in working for a JLR

Cons

Senior Management LL5 seem to be arrogant, threatening, rude, dishonest, self centred and aggressive. Personal growth hindered by seniors with personal agenda restricting the right thing by blaming bureaucracy and process! Ageist and sexist mentality. No one under aged 30, very few females and no ethnic minority individuals in leadership roles. Widely accepted but not corrected. Long hours and high expectations with zero respect for non leadership staff

Business Outlook

Pros

Very flexible, nice work environment (on the whole). Lots of opportunity for training/development if you seek it. Good management.

Cons

It's a big company, so your experience is very department/team/manager dependent. Some teams can be a bit behind the times, some teams have a negative culture - just like all big companies.
