Pros

Good level of pay and general benefits Well regarded company

Cons

Ultimately my advice would be to apply for a specific job rather than this scheme as you have no control of where you end up. (at least in manufacturing) Confusing structure, graduate scheme not clearly set out, feels more like you're just put into a role and left there largely. Experience varies wildly dependent on where you end up Poor management of scheme in general, or at least that's my experience. Lack of proper formal training, just lots of single day courses covering fairly basic topics most graduates are well versed in. Variation in workload is massive again depending where you end up. Multi-site working and almost all have access and/or workspace constraints which is very annoying.

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.
