Pros
Engineer with 8 years of experience in the auto industry. This is my second place of employment within that span and is the best place I've worked for to date. Good pay, good benefits, but most of all great people. Work can get hectic at times, but I find there is generally always help when needed which helps with work/life balance.
Cons
My experience has been great, but it is subject to your direct leaders (manager). I have a great one.

Thank you for taking the time to write a thoughtful review! We appreciate hearing about your personal experience and are glad to learn that you enjoy working at GM. Thank you for everything that you do!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We would like to thank you for your contributions to GM and appreciate the feedback! We encourage you to speak with your leader about how you might be able to uncover new challenges and opportunities to assist in your career development.
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?
