Manufacturing Operator promotes to Engineer- Shame, bad culture!!!

Supplier complex quality lead engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.

Pros

Great company to work for, they keep on trying to make you proud of being their empoyee. Great investment policy, having a clear long-term strategy aiming at excellence. Work-life balance is great creating confidence links with their employees.

Cons

Slightly disorganized structure due to the huge growth to which it has been subjected. A bit too much bureaucracy for almost anything.
