Pros

Great vehicle designs, decent salaries and a huge variety of roles. Some really exciting global roles if that suits you along with other fairly unique roles. Brands well recognized and respected, and it's a job you can be proud to share with friends. There are some genuinely great perks that are fairly unique to a company like JLR.

Cons

Sometimes a large disconnect between the companies values and what really goes on, with seemingly little desire to align reality with the vision despite frequent email reminders and well intended initiatives, they fail to get to the heart of the issue. The company has modernized rapidly but some areas have been unable to keep up. Archaic management practices still exist in areas of the company, this includes shouting, aggression and general fear tactics particularly amongst the senior management and directors.

- 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.
