Pros

- Working with advanced automotive technology within a dynamic environment proves positively challenging - Qualitative trainings and opportunities to develop skills not only for current roles, but also future responsibilities - Excellent work-life balance - Paid overtime if required and generally good remuneration for a graduate scheme - Good management (but this can vary)

Cons

- The graduate scheme in JLR is vastly different between teams and departments; this is not initially specified and can lead to predicaments such as no placements in other departments - Management can have the tendency not to acknowledge graduate strengths and passions hence guiding them in the direction they see fit - Work can be rather monotonous and static - Change is very slow - Lack of new challenges - A gentle learning curve which does not challenge the individual or get one of of one's comfort zone

Pros

Large company means there a job role for everybody - no matter how ambitious you are or what you want to work in. Was trusted with a high levels of responsibility after proving myself and have always been in control of my career. The level to which you work I have always found within my own power - my work life balance is up to me. Exciting company to work in, lots of projects and programmes to get involved with and a great sense of belonging to the brand too.

Cons

Is a bit of a tendency to do things "because we've always done it like that". Sometimes difficult for new fresh ideas to cut through the red tape and older colleagues. Occasionally unrealistic time frames are cascaded from seniors during already busy periods and late changes cause chaos to programmes from time to time. A bit more stability would help but it keeps us all busy at least!
