Pros

A company that is well respected and at an interesting time for the automotive industry. Great training opportunities and opportunities to go on placements throughout the business. Respected as a graduate within the business.

Cons

Location, for younger people living in a quiet town such as Leamington Spa can be extremely frustrating. Traffic around site also means it is difficult to live in Birmingham due to the long commute. Not enough space so hot desking makes it difficult to sit with your team. Very pot luck on where you get placed, unfortunately I was placed in a team where I have no interest.

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.
