Pros

It's a reliable, trusted and recognisable company, which even if you did leave the job there, other companies will spot you because you have worked at JLR.

Cons

Because it is such a big company I feel it is hard to get a message to somebody to have something resolved, for instance me and my team have had various issues that have still not been solved after almost 8 months, bearing in mind these are very petty, easy to solve issues that should not have taken more than a week at most

Business Outlook

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
