Pros

Generous time off (Holidays) nice benefit package. High performers are rewarded and promoted and put on good projects. GM will sponsor permanent residency for motivated employees. I only spend 40 hrs a week and not expected to be answering emails at all hours of the day. Very good work/life balance. Don't forget that GM employee discount on cars.

Cons

Still remnants of the "good old days". Senior employees that show up very early to avoid work and leave early. GM will not fire them outright, but they still take up space and the spot of a person who would gladly show up and work. Because of the size of GM you really have to work hard to stand out. Otherwise you're lost in the hustle and bustle of daily operations.

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?
