Pros

Large organisation with many exciting opportunities. Great products and world class innovations, huge amount of corporate pride in working for a JLR

Cons

Senior Management LL5 seem to be arrogant, threatening, rude, dishonest, self centred and aggressive. Personal growth hindered by seniors with personal agenda restricting the right thing by blaming bureaucracy and process! Ageist and sexist mentality. No one under aged 30, very few females and no ethnic minority individuals in leadership roles. Widely accepted but not corrected. Long hours and high expectations with zero respect for non leadership staff

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.
