Pros

1) Overall good benefits and salaries compared to suppliers and other automotive companies. 2) A majority of the employees are good, hardworking people that will collaborate with you and want you to succeed

Cons

1) The workplace culture has decreased dramatically over the past two years due to lack of transparency from SLT, multiple surprise layoffs, and overall distrust of GM leadership 2) Since the VSP’s in June 2023, there has been an increase in workload and decrease in support due to managers not having the ability to hire more team members 3) With some performance changes coming up, the culture is shifting from an automotive company to a tech or consulting company which is reducing the morale of current employees

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?
