Pros

After 15 years tenure, the people continue to be my best reason to work for General Motors. Certainly as an engineer the continuous challenge of new vehicle development and alternative propulsion systems keeps me enthusiastic.

Cons

The whole global economic crisis: rising energy prices, commodity and steel price inflation, the possibility of a deep global recession are headwinds out of GM's control. These forces additively amount to uncertainty, constantly imploding human resources, and tough actions which we don't enjoy making. Job security does not exist for my generation, If the playing field was level and we didn't have the costs of all the benefits and unions and all that, it'd be a different world

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?
