Pros

Amazing Culture, So many opportunities to be involved in interesting projects. I spend over 4 years in JLR and it was the best years of my working life. I only left because the opportunity to move up the ladder is almost impossible. Benefits are great and for the work you do they pay you exceptionally well. Work life balance was great. I was exceptionally fortunate to have great managers who allowed me to go out in the business and get involved in anything i wanted to. Very fortunate to have worked in JLR. You really can make the role in what you want it to be. I worked with people who were happy to just sit there and do data entry and there was space for them to do that and I, personally, created a whole role for myself involved in various projects i wanted to be involved in and the business never stopped me.

Cons

To get into JLR is exceptionally difficult, you may think you tick all the boxes for a role and you won't even be invited to a interview. To move up the ladder is exceptionally difficult, you have to really kiss select few managers behind to go up the ladder. If you are career motivated this place will really test you even if you have ratings above average for number of years. Certain, not all, managers think they are God because they are LL5 or above, the culture is very driven by hierarchy so if that is going to be a issue, may want to consider applying.

- 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.
