RecommendsPositive OutlookNo CEO Opinion
Pros
  • Great work-life balance, even full-time engineers rarely work more than 40-hour weeks.
  • Pay and benefits (for full-time engineers) are quite good for the manufacturing industry (automotive, aero, etc.), also very low COL.
  • Strong rotational program (FCG) after internship.
  • Interns have very good odds of getting an FCG offer.
  • Company outlook and product lineup is looking pretty good, best of Detroit 3 in my honest opinion.
Cons

• Big company, really, really, really damn big. • Location isn't the best, but depends on the person. • Feel like a very small cog in a giant machine. • A little slow-paced. • Frustrating to deal with HR/IT. • 99% of buildings need to be renovated really badly; they look like they're straight from the 70s.
