Pros

Lot to do. Lot to learn cause lot of challanges. Looks good on resume. Invest in training. Most of the manager have lot of knowledge and this help new graduates like me. But lot of old people sitting there doing nothing but waiting to retire. They are main reason for the GM problem. But you cant blame them as they deserve a good retirement. It is the government who should make sure people retire respectfully and not become burden on Companies. Overall I like working here.

Cons

Loosing money and may go bankrupt. Lot of old guys impose theie views which are sometime good also.

Pros

Great work life balance and benefits. People leaders have been great in my experience. Good mentorship opportunities and career options.

Cons

Performance based culture has a direct impact on bonus and pay raises. Creates a competitive workplace environment. Great for high performers, but major downside for low performers. Career advancement is very competitive given the large company nature

Pros

Benefits are decent……. IF you survive

Cons

Can name a few… 1. Poor leadership who hire their buddies and promote them into management level without any sense of technical or automotive knowledge 2. Lack of promotions or opportunities to move internally. If you are starting your career or mid way wanting growth. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE! YOU ARE A NUMBER! (Example, ask all the QA folks who got sacked while their managers got moved around into different roles and engineering manager roles? Not sure how that works but ok 3. Let’s talk about the business now. Leadership doesn’t care if you know or understand the business. This automotive industry is dying. They try to copy Tesla and Mary and leadership can not get the world Tesla out of their mouth. Let’s focus more on autonomy please and not trying to be like someone else…. 4. Stacking raking kills. I understand GM is a business and not a scalable one but that’s not because of the business… it’s because of the people leadership keeps deciding to keep and fire. Ffs get rid of Lowell Kercheville and Stacy Lynett. Both have done no good for either company and neither has their leaders under them. Mhmmm coincidence?
