Pros

Growing company with good future and plenty of opportunities to progress career both in breadth and progression. People tend to get hooked on the 'JLR drug', develop green blood and stay for years.

Cons

Leadership can be very Character based with senior leaders leading and judging performance based on gut feel and personal preference. This can lead to a blame culture and silo mentality. Great if you are in the 'chosen' group, not so great if your career is being managed / hampered / assessed by a 'Character' leader without fact or feedback.
