There are opportunities but it is difficult to climb the ladder

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Large sites which are newly being built and expanded. They give bonuses and overtime when the business is doing well.

Cons

Difficult to get promotions for technical ability. Career wise, leadership is given more onus. Quite often managers will prefer to bring in new people from other teams to fill these roles and avoid losing their technical staff. Appraisal and payrise system is not very good and can make little difference overall.

Business Outlook

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.

Business Outlook

Pros

Cars as fringe benefit. Flexibility to rotate roles, broaden experience and position yourself for progression.

Cons

IT infrastructure out of control making hard work of interpreting HQ or global performance. Automotive sector precarious in recession. Land Rovers shockingly bad quality only overcome by enduring appeal of its products. Jaguar brand ignored internally and lost globally.
