Pros

You are able to pursue master's programs. Good place for young people to be in. Is a good place to advance your career. It seems to take a while but seems rewarding. Company is trying to bring in new ways of thinking. Very global and one of the biggest companies in the world. Benefits are great. Compensation is somewhat high. I work in a plant and make the same amount of money as my friends in consulting. Rick Wagoner seems to be a great CEO to work for and got his stuff together. Yes the company is not doing great but who is ?

Cons

Here is a list of some downsides: Too many 50 + people who don't want to retire. A lot of them great and a lot very old school, don't give room for improvement, are years behind in the industry; Many older senior level management 8th and above who don't have a clue what is six sigma or GMS. Senior management seems to be old and unwilling to change with the times. There is a lack of diversity as everybody in the company; Most people close to 89 percent are from Michigan and have no clue what type cars are attractive in Texas or California; Many layers of upper management; Lack of diversity 94 % white , 5 % african american, 1.5 % latino, 3.5 % other

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?
