Pros

They allow you to go home, unlike prison

Cons

No work life balance, if you hate your family, pets, house or free time, then work at the EMC Wolverhampton. You get to be in work for 8 hours to the second, with the threat of a 3 hour extension or a Saturday with just a couple of hours notice, with shift work it also makes you so fatigued to do anything with the little time you do get off. If your lucky enough to work in machining you get the added bonus of excessive noise, minimum 85db plus and a sickly choking vapour of atomised oil in the air. Management have yet to grasp the concept that there is a word called 'no' to the bosses above them, though they dish it out unsparingly when asking for favours like time off to look after a sick child or dying relative. Covid does not exist at JLR and if you are stupid enough to catch it, then you are disciplined for threatening the profits the company are desperate to make.

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.
