Easy and slow-moving projects, Great work-life balance. Highly competitive pays. People say it is a great place to work right before your retirement.
Cons
No room for skill and career growth. The average age of employees is well over 40s. even though I was at the IT center.

Thank you for taking the time to write a 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!
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?
