JLR reviews

Run as a blame culture and with fear. It is felt by the most senior directors that shouting and intimidating staff is the best way to get results. It isn’t. You are invisible and treated poorly. Career opportunities are zero if you are female. This can be seen by the level of females in senior roles in JLR.

A significant proportion of JLR leaders have a low level of emotional intelligence and are burdened with arrogance, incompetence and weakness in equal measure. This is borne out in warranty costs that leaders struggle to control, slow engineering decision making, some poor attribute balancing and the inability to deliver programs to a timing plan. I raised an issue with a leader of the business and they took no interest. Outwardly they care, but when it comes to proving the rhetoric there is a distinct lack of action. This makes JLR a frustrating place to work and fosters a culture of cynicism. I do not feel valued in my role and have a low level of job satisfaction.
