General Motors (GM) reviews

Miserable atmosphere since many very talented coworkers left in layoff The best and hardest workers were sucked up by layoff while lazy workers remain 8th level managers are unfriendly now since they may be demoted Leadership is putting all of their eggs in AV and BEV baskets Office seating environment very noisy and unproductive Desired culture/values not in alignment with how great employees were let go Workload increased too much when lost people

I came in as a college hire. When the company hired all the people at once there was no real vetting process. It was as if they hired anyone that can turn on a computer. Over the years these people have stuck around. It can be really frustrating to work with these people. What makes this more frustrating is that the company has a lack of opportunities for raises and promotions. So it doesn't seem to matter if you work hard or if you spend all day chilling. You will be compensated the same and given the same raise. This may be a positive for people who just want to show up at work and collect a pay check. But it stops people from going out and being ambitious and excelling at work. Because the company doesn't promote or provide opportunities for upwards mobility all of the good talent tends to leave for companies that do give these opportunities. These people are either never replaced or replaced with college hires. As a company we really should be doing a better job of retaining the good talent and letting the bottom people go elsewhere. However it seems to be the opposite. So I'm not looking forward to what GM IT will look like in a few years. The last thing I will say. The salary isn't great. I would say it's at the bottom level of competitive. Like if a competitive salary in the area is between $x-$y then GM is paying you $x on the dot.
