Pros

You get to work with some terrifically bright individuals who desperately want to succeed for the company and themselves.

Cons

There are too many timeservers, protecting their pensions, who don't want to work and don't want to help. They fill their calendars with meetings they haven't attended since 1999. These people you have to hunt down. Additionally, there's little middle management talent at JLR. Managers are too reticent to make decisions and are happy to pass the buck. Senior managers at JLR, LL4 and above, are extremely arrogant, especially if they've been with JLR through thick and thin. Newer external hires in leadership positions are a bit more grounded. Salaries and benefits aren't competitive in the auto industry until LL6 level.

- 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.
