Cross-Functional Data Analytics Graduate Review

My experience at JLR has been very positive, the people are great, the work is engaging and so far I'm very happy with the company.

My main role responsibilities are pipeline management, dashboard fixing and dataset provisioning. This requires consistent conversations with stakeholders, users and other engineers to ensure our processes are providing accurate, trustworthy data consistently.

I have my own workstreams, my own products I'm in charge of and things that I fix personally. This means I'm providing genuine value to the end-users and my work helps them do their jobs and make decisions, so I feel valued.

The salary is good for straight from University, the private healthcare is not as thorough as some previous employments but so far I haven't had to use it so can't comment on it's effectiveness.

The core skills programme is teaching me invaluable things that will be useful for my whole career, the people skills and delegating will certainly be useful too. The role has a great balance of building technical skills whilst also dealing with people and the skills associated with that.

The support is perfect, whether that is line managers or my colleagues and friends. They all want the best for me and understand teaching me how to do things improves everyone's experience and efficiency.

The work is quite variable, combined with extra-curricular commitments outside my role I can find myself working considerable extra hours some days/weeks to meet goals. This is less from pressure within the workplace however and more a personal desire to achieve what I set out to and what I've promised people I'll do.

Everything is very inclusive and positive, the hybrid working is very relaxed and so the atmosphere is often productive and cheery. People who are in the office want to be there, and that's a nice place to be.

Yes

The work is exciting, I'm very passionate about the vehicles and products we offer, it's easy to be enthusiastic about these amazing cars at the forefront of luxury and seeing new vehicles driving around is super cool. The hybrid working is great for being able to adapt to life's changes and really lets work move around your personal life as opposed to the other way around.

I wasn't very knowledgeable on the dataspace when I first applied for the role so the intricacies of what I could be doing wasn't explained very thoroughly during the recruitment process. It isn't made obvious the variety of what you could be doing.
