Toxic environment and little support

Business Outlook

Pros

My immediate colleagues were supportive.

Cons

I worked in the IT part of JLR. Would not recommend that experience to anyone. Management was not supportive, they used us non-management people as pawns in their own little career games. Gaslighting was an everyday issue and HR turned a blind eye. Very toxic environment and overall it takes a toll on mental health. A badly planned Agile transformation was making work even more complicated on a daily basis. Tons of meeting. Very little budget. Even less appreciation. Loads of backstabbing.

Good place for starters but let engineers down with the lack of career plan

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It is a multicultural place and the company seems to embrace diversity Some really good engineers Compensation is not so bad Hybrid work

Cons

Lack of purpose as a software engineering company Too many graduates for just few seniors Lack of clarity for promotion, some people works for years in so many really important projects but they are never promoted. Some people, that just joined get promoted just because knows the right person.
