A lot, anytime I was confused/ struggling. I had 2 mentors who would help with every question that I had within 24hrs. If they could not help, then they would escalate to our manager and he would resolve the issue. Never had an issue that wasn't resolved within a week.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend JLR to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to JLR
Ask for work. Complete your tasks as fast and best you can. If you are given boring work, if you complete it quickly, you will typically be given more responsibilities that usually are more exciting or you will be able to assist team members if you ask for more work and they are busy.
