Pros

* The company allows hybrid working so you can work from home some days of the week. * The pension contribution from JLR is good (employee contributes 6% and JLR contribute 10% although this is changing soon so employees will need to contribute more)

Cons

* The pay for a software engineer is below the UK national average * Pay rises are hard to come by and when the union negotiate a pay rise it is often very low * The company doesn't seem to be clued up on how to work in an agile way when developing software. The company doesn't really know how to properly develop software especially management. * There can be a lot of office politics * Office is very dreary and old

Pros

Management is so busy with bureaucracy so that you have some time for yourself in the day, nobody checks time Quite good money for people with short experience

Cons

There are more meetings than coding itself No remote work, you'll be required to come to the office twice a week and then have everything done remotely The vast majority of employees doesn't use correct/understandable English Not many English people there, but a lot from India and other eastern countries. It is so diverse here, so you won't see many white faces. A lot of time is wasted. Meetings are being extended. Management is lost. They're toxic people. Agile is applied very badly.
