Pros

Work life balance is good If you are interested in automotive you will enjoy the work

Cons

If you use Glassdoor reviews to choose a prospective employer, then this is the one, honest review that describes Jato best. Here are just some of the cons: There are no opportunities in Jato for professional growth. There are no opportunities to learn anything new or useful. There are no opportunities to develop your career. There is no career path. There is no natural progression. The same people have been working in the same jobs for 20+ years. There are no promotions or opportunities. Jato have fired multiple employees, across the globe in the last 6 months without warning and have replaced those employees with employees from countries such as Czechia, Greece, and Portugal, where wages are low. Clearly the business plan is to replace the current workforce with as much cheap labour as possible. Recently Jato have actively pushed employees to leave positive reviews on Glassdoor in a embarrassing bid to improve the company's overall rating. Notice the number of 5 star reviews in the past 6 months. Jato actively push employees to give better ratings on internal staff satisfaction surveys. They believe if the ratings are low then it's the employees fault, when it's actually the company that needs to change. Your true opinion does not matter. They just want you to improve the figures. Jato have paid no salary increases for the past 2 years. Meanwhile inflation is at an all time high. The most recent annual bonus was 2%. Pathetic. From what I have seen, nobody has ever realised their full potential while working in Jato, and sadly, I doubt anyone ever will. This is a broken company under it's current ownership and managment.

This is NOT a good employer. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

Pros

To provide some context. JATO has always been a "work-hard play-hard" culture and staff retention WAS high... Also, it has a Modern Head Office, plus some of those (that are left) are genuinely kind, honest and hard-working individuals. Flexible working conditions

Cons

A few years ago a new leadership team was brought in. Whilst the intentions were good, the outcome has been catastrophic. A bullying culture is encouraged, employees are considered disposable and routinely undervalued and the Senior Management/department heads are increasingly directionless. No stability in department direction. Staff retention has plummeted with new staff (both senior and junior) cycling through the business in c.18 months. Decisions are made by senior management, seemingly, for self-preservation. Ignore any reviews before 2018. This is now a very different company to what it once was, and it is all the worse for it.
