Pros

Exciting new products in multiple markets around the world, which include emerging automotive technology (like the Volt extended range electric vehicle, which runs on batteries, but has a small, fuel efficient 3 cylinder engine to back it up and recarge the batteries if you get too far from your normal charging point); competitive pay and benefits; great discounts on cars and trucks; an opportunity to work globally--there is explosive growth overseas in eastern Europe, Russia, India, and China.

Cons

Sometimes long hours; fluctuation in the markets can impact resources for accomplishing your mission, and also impact amount and timing of compensation programs.

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.
