Pros

Jaguar used to be filled by consummate professionals passionate about the company and it's history with most folks trying to do right by the brand. They had very fair work-life balance with flexible hours and remote working options. Technology improved over the course of my tenure with Ford eventually instituting a PC renewal program ensuring employees had some of the basic tools they needed to do their job.

Cons

Due to poor management decisions that neglected product investment, many folks ended up leaving for greener pastures. Things are quite different at Jaguar NA now, with the CA office having been shuttered and the majority of the NA staff eviscerated. However, with great product now leading the way, it looks like the company is back on the right track.

- 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.
