Scandit Reviews

Benefits included in the package offered are not actually delivered i.e a pension as UK banks will not give them an account as they cannot either identify or disclose some of their investors. I only learned this shortly after joining. Another con for me was having a manager that turned a job I was so excited about, and worked really hard to get into, turned into the worst employment experience i have ever had. My experiences included being yelled at over calls, having my expenses withheld because a photo of a receipt was not the "right way round" , being told after four weeks I was asking "too many questions !". There is guidance about being in the office (UK) and being able to work from home one day a week (Wednesday) , my experience after being in the office every day for four weeks was I sat alone in the office for many days, particularly on Fridays, where for nearly every Friday I sat in an empty office .. so following what seemed to be normal, I worked from home for a few days , I was then bawled out by my manager for not being in the office, so I returned to office working where I sat in a near empty or an office with four people max and then empty for the rest of the week, including HR, managers, etc etc who were WFH . Apparently in a senior role you are not trusted to work unless you are in the office... There were people I saw once in the office in my entire tenure.. . Ref the approach to marketing , you go through a presentation process of what you bring in terms of marketing ideas through the recruitment process , and think you will get to implement great ideas and there is going to be a chance to input to the how and the why etc - you wont get to do this , there is email marketing and follow up by SDR's to email marketing that's it , and a little bit of LI messaging .. . and repeat. Frankly working for this manager made me ill, and on my partners insistence I resigned. Scandit has high employee turnover with five people leaving in or around the same time as me, I cannot speak for their experiences, but it seems very high for a company of this size.

The company's efforts to build a great culture fall apart at the team level, especially in the Americas SC org. Micro-management rather than leadership was my impression, which is unfortunate. There are some very talented people on the SC team that could be even more effective in their roles if they were given the resources and support to succeed instead of being held down by oppressive and pedantic management. From a product perspective, open-source competition is continually improving and closing the gap quickly, making Scandit hard to sell. Leadership and product teams have tried to pivot to differentiated offerings that could drive more value, but they have come up with those product offerings largely in a vacuum and they aren’t a good fit for the market.
