Overview of the Role

Overall, how would you describe your experience at JLR?
I have loved it, the company is brilliant and despite some more structure needed around the grad scheme- this has been the best entry to work I could ask for.
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
HR Consulting in various roles, mostly policy and process advisory- as well as a Projects and Operations placement which allowed me to explore and engage with lots of areas within the business. In this second placement my focus was on business strategy from a People perspective and delivering on major People-related projects. I feel I have responsibility and impact.
To what extent does your role give you the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and feel valued by your team?
4/5
How does your compensation package - including perks & benefits - fairly remunerate you for the work you do?
5/5
How well do you feel the role is preparing you for your future career?
4/5
Excluding CIPD / external qualifications may be hindering.
How would you rate the extent to which you were developing new or existing skills through formal training and your day-to-day role?
4/5
My initial placement had a steep learning curve, but once reached was minimal in it's learning. This placement lasted a few months too long. However very pleased with my second placement where the learning is always there- if you are proactive about finding it.
