Pros

Brand heritage, awesome products, world class facility in Gaydon. Some fantastic teams and individuals

Cons

Lack of leadership, Engineering management is typically over stretched - it's normal to have 20 or more Engineers working for a single manager (other areas of the business have only 3). Blame culture prevents people from making a decision and driving the business forward.

Pros

- Amazing work culture and work life balance - As a designer the world is your oyster of how you want to grow and develop - Manager is amazing at communicating your needs and empathizing with you - Everyone is driven to be a better designer and so much support from everyone

Cons

- Having to work sometimes really early or nighttime due to time zone differences with some of the people we work with - Projects & goals sometimes have to change in the week to better fit business needs and team goals.

Pros

Great work life balance Supportive environment

Cons

If you fall in the less than 3 years experience bucket, your best shot is the new graduate positions which have terrible pay and full-time employment after 2-years is not guaranteed.
