Pros

Decent work-life balance, salary and package pretty good for the region, team mates and colleagues invariably excellent (with the odd exception)

Cons

Ridiculous decision making by senior leadership team (Directors and above), which in turn drives ridiculous targets, behaviours and culture from those doing the work. Senior management and grades below are invariably stressed out by needing to meet ridiculous cost or timing targets, and because key stakeholder groups have wildly different objectives, staff are constantly grinding against internal stakeholders rather than working as a coherent team with a singular aim. Very little evidence of external benchmarking- a significant proportion of said senior teams appear to have been in the JLR or the old Rover Group for too many years to recognise how the World actually works.

Pros

- 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

Cons

- 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.

Pros

Great work life balance Supportive environment

Cons

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.
