Pros

There are still some good opportunities at General Motors if you are involved in Battery technology since GM is playing catchup on hybrids. Compensation seems to be reasonable and GM still offers very good benefits.

Cons

Very process oriented with a new flavor of the month for ways to improve (but they never eliminate last months flavor - they just keep adding). Very low morale currently with more and more job opportunities leaving the United States and moving to lower cost countries. Rationale for promotions does not seem to follow any logical sense. No consistency in the way people are treated and a lack of communication on the what is expected and required.

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?
