Pros

Nice campus and good perks for IT workers. Excellent training opportunities and perks once you find the information and process to access the tools. Holiday team building activities are quite nice. Good perk with getting GM branded vehicles at a discount. Company has been growing at an exponential rate. Has issues understanding that the old methods of work will not grow with the firm. There are still entrenched weak ideas that need to change to continue to be successful.

Cons

Onboarding process was weak and disorganized. More shepherding of the process is needed. Certain documentation needs to be expedited in the first 30 days or there is a potential loss of benefit. Processes are unclear. Very cliquish...if you are one of the 'blessed' individuals, you can do no wrong even if the ideas are terrible and end up laying a giant egg. In the department where I worked, virtually zero...they espouse 'empowerment' and do the exact opposite. Has had several recent health incidents during renovation of workspaces where there has been significant exposure to hazardous chemicals. Ignorance is no defense. MSDSs were not provided readily. HR does not understand their role in these incidents and corporate security was not readily available. They need an industrial hygienist on staff.

Pros

I'm a senior-level software engineer, previously worked at tech companies, and this job is relatively easy for me. No on-call, work-life balance is good. I usually get everything done within 2-week sprints.

Cons

GMF is the true definition of work hard, not smart. There are so many dumb engineers. There was a time I had to work with non-technical teams like prod support, and it was quite frustrating. They wanted my team to build an automation so they didn't have to work manually as if anything is possible and there is no limitation within the company. I didn't even create a backlog item as it was a waste of time.
