Overview of the Role

Overall, how would you describe your experience at JLR?
Great experience. The system of going on placements anywhere in the business is very beneficial. Everyone I have come across so far is very patient and supportive. There is plenty of opportunities to get involved in interesting projects and grow in different ways.
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
I enjoy working towards our latest products. Regardless of whichever role I'm in, knowing that I am contributing for the latest JLR vehicle keeps me motivated.
To what extent does your role give you the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and feel valued by your team?
5/5
All the teams I have been a part of were more than willing to get me involved in their most interesting projects. I also always feel like I am working on tasks that I believe to be meaningful and mission critical.
How does your compensation package - including perks & benefits - fairly remunerate you for the work you do?
5/5
The discount scheme is helpful to a degree for groceries and some purchases. There is also a scheme called "invest in you" where we get allocated credits to do a personal development task.

I was hired as a vehicle programmes graduate but I have been placed in a team that is the polar opposite to what the role brief was.
