Pros

Very useful benefits available, particularly for car lovers. Vehicles are great fun. An incredible amount of change and challenge ahead. There is only one company like JLR.

Cons

Sprawling. Waste can be found everywhere. Some people can hide and nothing is done about it while others are worked until they break. Management work long hours. For office staff, meetings can start around 07:30, phone calls earlier. Disorganised chaos on many days. Very effective firefighters and this makes it quite volatile and unpredictable.

Pros

Work Life balance, very rarely am required to work overtime. Work from home flexibility. Pension and benefits available Training available If entering the graduate scheme you will have the opportunity to do placements within the business.

Cons

Office environment, A hot desking policy has been introduced as there are not enough desks for all employees. Frequently you will not be able to find a desk with your team. There are also not enough parking spaces and there are frequent traffic jams due to the bottle neck when trying to get home. If entering the graduate scheme it is likely you will not be placed in a home department that is relevant to your background.

Thanks for your feedback, it’s great to hear you have been enjoying some of the benefits on offer. Parking is disrupted at our Gaydon site while construction is underway on our £200m design and engineering centre, but we are working on options to reduce the pressure. JLR is committed to integrity, the highest level of ethical behaviour, and to creating an environment of trust which is open, safe and secure.
