Pros

The parking has improved since COVID hit. Good, hard working team of people despite management (LL6 upwards)

Cons

Design Directors awful attitude and behaviour. Progression absolutely non-existent. Derisory pay increase this year after 3 years of nothing. Management are yes men. The word 'no' doesn't exist when it comes to work requests. Every request from above is accepted at the expense of the people who actually do the work. When it gets done they are not recognised sufficiently. Reviews, meetings, reviews, meetings, very little design development. Everything is rushed. This is NOT how to design cars. Superiority wins over anything. You MUST agree with senior management. Wellbeing initiatives are lip service and box ticking at best. Poor mental health is rife. Design department run by fear. Constant chopping and changing, reorganisation, voluntary redundancies, rinse and repeat. The company is massively unstable. The good people are leaving in droves, hopefully to be followed shortly by me.

Pros

Great car design Benefits are like golden handcuffs (you won't want to leave due to pay etc)

Cons

Management is from the 1970s where alpha aggressive is what's needed to progress Lying and backstabbing is expected to promote yourself at the expense of others Bureaucracy has killed any hope of innovation Silo working is not only the norm, its tacitly encouraged Build quality is terrible and they know it You must be able to blame everyone around you. Taking accountability is a one way ticket to redundancy You can never do enough and pressure is always increased. Working long hours is expected and pastoral support is dependent on whether you are lucky and get a good manager or a technical specialist who's been promoted above their leadership ability
