Pros

Competitive compensation and strong investment in labs and facilities. Overall strong reputation for product quality. Generally, GM recruits high quality talent due to strong compensation.

Cons

Toxic leadership culture has spread from top to bottom. The company feels like it is rotting from within. Leadership at GM has come to mean deferring and delaying decisions rather than taking ownership. The strategic direction is constantly changing (because there really isn't one). Things used to be better but have really gone downhill in the last ~3 years.

Pros

Good benefits, decent PTO, that's about it.

Cons

Terrible company culture, and layoffs on roughly a 6 month cadence. They spend more on stock buybacks and poaching execs than employees.
