Propulsion Graduate Scheme Review

A good experience, highly dependant on your team and their approach to development.
Good working environment, people are listened too at all levels of the business in most areas. High pressure and delivery areas could improve in this respect.

Team dependant, ranging from trivial tasks to ownership of real topics that drive critical decisions in the business.
E.g. ownership of workstreams exploring next gen vehicle possibilities that will drive the competitiveness of the vehicle - communicating with key stakeholders to identify, understand, and review the defining features of new vehicle architectures to create the optimum package.

Best placement 5/5
Worst placement: 1/5

In the UK landscape the salary for early careers is good, outside the UK, especially for engineers, the compensation package is relatively poor compared to the most competitive international markets.
Perks and benefits seem to be being withdrawn (Invest in you, recognition funding etc.)

Highly team dependant, there is a lot of opportunity to find your place, however I found that some teams are far too niche to prepare their team members for a highly successful career such as purusing upper management grades

Good facilitation of support from direct manager, mentors, buddies etc. In my experience, the vast majority of people are very willing to help and support your career growth.

Highly team dependant, highly pressure dependant. I would like to see this improved.

Generally very good, a detractor is the energy (battery) departments decision to enforce three days in the office as a minimum, which is a step backwards in my opinion and an unpopular decision.

Yes

A good company to work for all things considered, there are significant improvements that could be made, but that is the case in most companies.

Recruitment process was not at all indicative of where I would be allocated to within the business. Other than the choice of area (propulsion), it was a surprise where I would end up.
