Pros

- Pay is very good - Occasionally you get to drive the products - The grad scheme is varied and gives graduates the opportunity to experience many areas of the business

Cons

- ENDEMIC AGEISM DIRECTED TOWARDS GRADUATES!!! - Arrogant, self-centred, useless managers - Senior management and executives are even worse, only caring about their own careers and salary - THE CARS HAVE SO MANY ISSUES!!! BUT MANAGEMENT MAKES SOLVING THE ISSUES IMPOSSIBLE!!! - Too many members of staff are stuck in the "good old days" and are totally unwilling to move with the 21st century - Anyone new is given zero respect, and graduates often receive the worst jobs in particular - If you don't fit the JLR mould, there is ZERO career progression. Do not listen to anything anyone says, career progression is reserved to those who pander to managers and only care about their own careers. If you don't behave the way you are told you should (by being political and often robotic) then you won't get anywhere - The sites are bleak, depressing, miserable, vast hell-holes - DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING IS TERRIBLE, TRAFFIC IS HORRENDOUS!!! (a 7 mile journey from Leamington Spa to Gaydon has taken up to 1 hour at times!!!) - PARKING IS TERRIBLE (unless you have been at the company long enough to receive a coveted on-site pass) - Generally I can think of very few positives and too many negatives, I hated pretty much every second of my time there and I want to stop people falling into the same trap as me, joining with tonnes of enthusiasm and hope, for it to be ripped from you by people you will despise for the rest of your lives. PS. During my time there I had two major nervous breakdowns, entirely work related.

Pros

Nice to be at a place that seems to be growing in the industry and is a highly regarded local employer that make great products

Cons

the growth, whilst positive has also created some strain on the infrastructure - there is a lot of growth and change at present
