- Low salary for what they ask for. I know many average engineers that make 80K SEK per month who only get this amount due to how many times they have changed positions within Scania and not how skilled they are. - If you come with a PhD, you will start from zero when it comes to salary. If you want a job where you are paid well and that you can increase it by perfomring well, Scania is not the place. Unfortunately, the way they increase your salary is very subjective and depends on how your manager reviews your yearly performance, and you have no voice in changing that. Even if you perform well, which practically requires you to work over time, your salary increase is limited by how other enigneers in the same skill group as you have performed. For example, if your performance is C (this is the highest one can achieve), they won't necessarily increase your salary by how much they should since engineers with the same career level have not got much rise due to their low performance. In summary, you are not in charge of your success. - You should take driving license for trucks. If Swedish is not your native language, you will have problems. Also, you can only study the theory in your free time at home. Pair this with the fact that you will go to summer and winter tests regularly where weather is harsh. The funny part is your salary will not be incresaed because of any of these extra work. It is literally slavery - The work load is pretty high if you work with electric trucks. - Location is not nice. Overall, I think Scania is good for you if you don't have high degrees and are not ambitious career and salary wise.
