How are the career development opportunities at Scout Motors?

-Cool Product -Experienced colleagues across the company

-it’s basically Volkswagen rebranded as Scout -too much VW influence and processes to follow without any SMEs on site to help -required to align and get approval from VW before doing anything. makes execution very slow -hired a bunch of people in Metro Detroit under false pretenses, now expecting everybody to relocate in the near future to NC. -no career growth opportunities for those based in Metro Detroit, unless you are going to move down south in the future -company culture is very German like. Lots of disrespect and condescension.

Everyone at the company wants you to learn and become better as an engineer. Great resources and great opportunities.

There is nothing bad about this company.

Good CEO and good pay

German heavy leadership that favors German colleagues for opportunities and growth. The company is bloated with VW red tape and bureaucracy.

-CEO is well liked by all -hybrid work policy -Frequent team building and travel opportunity -clean office -talented people -great paternity leave policy

-building is too small for current staff size, more to be hired making it worse -strange project management workflow that causes disorganization -CTO is generally absent and known for last minute requests and toxic behavior. Leaves equally toxic and clueless vp’s in charge who are generally viewed as incompetent for roles -lack of systems and the ability to make systems, all engineering processes are pure Volkswagen -hard to get specs and other info from vw side despite being forced to use components -Confusion on who’s in charge both inside and outside engineering and other groups
