Pros

Good starting salary, weekends off, £2k joining bonus (repayable if you leave)

Cons

No structure and no training. No investment from management in your development, lucky if they speak to you. Zero direction about what you're supposed to be doing or trying to achieve and very little interest in you. Replicated across teams. In theory there's hybrid working but that depends on how stuck in the past your manager is, they think your doing nothing at home but don't give you anything to do in work either.

Pros

JLR is a great place to work, with a good work-life balance, respectful management.I had a mainly enjoyable experience

Cons

Pay progression is a joke, loyalty is not rewarded but penalised. Someone coming from outside the company will get paid more than someone doing the job for 5 or more years. Progression into management level is ultra competitive and usually the friend of...or someone with contacts will get it. If you are a woman it will also be easier for you to get into a management position as they want to artificially increase their %.
