Pros

The culture was once great and has potential for greatness again (see below for more info on that). The pay and benefits are great within region, and there is generous paid holidays. In my experience, most mid-level managers and individual contributors have been pleasant to work with.

Cons

The culture has taken a steep decline in the last few years, namely due to corporate greed, poor decision making by SLT, and our new CHRO. There is now a culture of fear that runs through a once positive culture. The senior leaders have consistently made poor decisions (investments in Maven, Lyft, international markets, Cruise, no hybrid vehicle options, etc), and instead of them facing consequences for those decisions, it impacts director level employees on down. Further, transparency has been a joke. I believe the mandatory RTO and forcing people who were once remote to relocate is a ploy to push people out. Consistent layoffs and forced ranking have killed morale. All in all, my heart has been slowly breaking over how fast this company has fallen.

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?
