OK place to work but needs improving significantly

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

* The company allows hybrid working so you can work from home some days of the week. * The pension contribution from JLR is good (employee contributes 6% and JLR contribute 10% although this is changing soon so employees will need to contribute more)

Cons

* The pay for a software engineer is below the UK national average * Pay rises are hard to come by and when the union negotiate a pay rise it is often very low * The company doesn't seem to be clued up on how to work in an agile way when developing software. The company doesn't really know how to properly develop software especially management. * There can be a lot of office politics * Office is very dreary and old
