Employers don’t generally know how a college grades. They also don’t know that course X is known at ZCollege to be very difficult even though it may not be elsewhere. Most know Engineering tends to have a less compressed scale than Business or other majors.
Some have thresholds like a 3.0 GPA and your application is not getting reviewed by human eyes if you don’t clear that basic hurdle.
Some colleges may get a little leeway - HarveyMudd, GTech- but generally, grade inflation/deflation isn’t part of the process.
