Pluspunten

Very few good 3rd party collaborators who bring added value to the business. If you're knowledge-hungry you'll gain something, of your own volition.

Minpunten

Pretty much everything else. A lifer/dinosaur mentality that's been cultivating for the past 25 years, while recruiting a huge number of new people at the same time with no infrastructure, training or even desks in place, for that matter. No orientation/handover/induction processes in place, it's all "sink or swim" but without the slightest guidance/support. Hot desking - aka literally working in the corridors - has been baptised "smart working"(!). If you're not there by 7am, good luck finding a parking spot - you then have to drive at least 2 miles - if you're lucky and don't have to go an extra 5 miles to the airport - to a park and ride, get the shuttle bus and arrive at work at 9 - 9:30. Very productive...! I won't even begin to talk about the Line Managers, most of whom don't even have a degree, much less possess any people management skills. Work recognition absolutely non-existent, it's all about politics and personal preferences. 50-60 hours' work a week and not even a good word, not to mention overtime or bonus or a salary increase. No meritocracy whatsoever - I'm being literal when I say a Senior Manager of 20+ years in JLR had no idea what the word meant (!) Among the top 2 worst professional experiences in my entire life, if not the first.

- Amazing work culture and work life balance - As a designer the world is your oyster of how you want to grow and develop - Manager is amazing at communicating your needs and empathizing with you - Everyone is driven to be a better designer and so much support from everyone

Minpunten

- Having to work sometimes really early or nighttime due to time zone differences with some of the people we work with - Projects & goals sometimes have to change in the week to better fit business needs and team goals.

Pluspunten

Great work life balance Supportive environment

Minpunten

If you fall in the less than 3 years experience bucket, your best shot is the new graduate positions which have terrible pay and full-time employment after 2-years is not guaranteed.
