Pros

As a non union employee, you get the benefits from the union contract, like time off and bonus structure. The health care benefits for employees working outside of MI, are just OK. My direct managers and co-workers were amazing. I really enjoyed my close working relationships. And the work itself can be very fun and interesting, and impactful.

Cons

It In IT and Software and Services org, it was constant change, reorganization, prioritization conflicts etc. It was quite chaotic my entire time and GM. The overall culture right now is pretty terrible.

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?
