Pros

GM has an excellent 401k plan and the benefits are still competitive. Compensation and bonuses are above average. Employees have extensive discounts on company products & some online retail stores. Product quality has improved dramatically.

Cons

GM has a top - down management mode of operation. The company tends to be reactive more than proactive when dealing with problems. The employeee feedback process is counterproductive. Employees are cumbered with excessive administration duties.

Pros

I was able to learn some interesting things in robotics, computer vision, etc. These jobs can be hard to come by, so it was a nice entry point. Plenty of chances to prove your worth, considering the incompetence of some of the managers and leads (but dont expect to be paid for the effort, you gotta show the effort first and you *might* get an early promotion)

Cons

Layoffs are frequent and nonsensical. Absolutely no warning that it will happen, you just wake up one day with the meeting on your calendar. Pay is OK. After being laid off late May, I found a job in a month or two that paid more (150k base -> 180k base) The things I learned were almost entirely self taught. Leads and management provided zero structure. They didnt use jira at all. They didnt write up business requirements for projects. Leads didnt create technical requirements. Milestones were vague. Everything was completely unorganized due to the inexperience of upper management and engineering leadership.
