JLR reviews

This does not feel like an automotive company, they hired too many graduates and people from non automotive backgrounds with no real grasp on how the automotive industry actually is. Everyone is a software developer even if that is not their specialty, HR do not give job titles other than SW dev. If you are hired for a non SW role, you will be molded into it. They spend 3 torturous days planning for 12 weeks of work, then long sessions every 2 weeks to plan again. It is the most depressing and mind numbing sessions any engineer can imagine, planning for 12 weeks and scope changes everytime. Certain managers expect shirt and tie dress code. Whilst others can rock up in comfortable jeans and t-shirt, Certain managers are not suited nor fit for their role, and use bullyboy tactics to micromanage staff. Old fashioned expectations from certain managers again that you cannot work from home - HR have been poor to define a WFH policy (pre covid) The definition of diversity here is making women more important and snubbing men. Its terribly embarrassing as a woman who works here, and honestly feels like they employ women for just being women. The she++ is the most condescending group and a damage to the women who WANT to work in STEM.

Unfortunately any pros are completely overhauled by the toxic environment that now exists. - Departments don't trust each other or work together and as a result, there is very little cooperation between most teams. - I have seen a handful of people forced to resign due to stress caused entirely by work. Some incredibly bright and passionate individuals have been bullied out by poor managers. False accusations, rumour spreading, threatening comments, exclusion from meetings, micro managing, finger-pointing and countless instances of overworking employees. Even though senior managers know it's going on, they refuse to confront the issue and anyone unlucky enough to be the target is expected to grin and bear it... without the support of their team. - Parking is horrific. - Any attempt to be creative and try something different is next to impossible considering all the processes and approval lines you need to go through. - Internal communication was limited - junior employees generally didn't receive updates on how the business is performing as a whole and as a result were lulled into a false sense of security... To be frank, it felt like a snake pit. There were some terrible managers who made working in the office unbearable. One can only hope things change as it’s a shame to feel this way about a brand I used to admire.
