      Pros

      The General typically starts you out at a higher salary, looks good on a resume and you can learn a lot if you ask a lot of questions.

      Cons

      General Motors expects you to be available 24/7. Salary employees can be walking out the door and they will get stopped and told to work OT, no matter what. A fellow engineer was fired for going on his honeymoon, after he had a signed vacation slip from his boss a year earlier. I left General Motors after five years and realized I forgot how nice life can be.

      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?
