Process
There were three rounds.
- 2 Technical interviews
- 1 HR interview
Total 21 students were shortlisted.
Round 1: Basic Mechanical Interview. Round 2: FEA/CFD Interview. Round 3: HR interview.
I answered all questions in Round 1, yet I didn't get the chance to appear for the second round.
Poor time management by the company. Interviews for early candidates lasted about half an hour, while those at the end were called to sit together. Everyone answered, but they didn't consider anyone from those groups.
Questions
In round 1, they were told to draw a diagram of a cantilever beam with a point load at the free end. Then, calculate the slope and deflection.

General Motors Work Experiences
- 1.0From Ok to just awfulCAE Engineer • Current EmployeeWarren, Michigan, United StatesJune 23, 2025Pros: Volunteer opportunities 401k match + vacation time Education assistanceCons: Oh man, over 4 years of working here. Have the mighty fallen. In a sense, right now it’s like a mutated gremlin of a place to work. It feels like 1985 met 2015 and birthed this grotesque horror that is the current culture. My word, the utter incompetence of middle management and the sheer lack of knowledge is laughable. Some of the gearbox designs look like they came out of a bottom 10% Spotify indie metal band’s experimental album. But at this point, that’s better engineering than most of what’s done here in powertrain. In short, bad boss at a bad company? You’re gonna have a bad time.
- 3.0Not bad to work for a few yearsCAE Engineer • Former EmployeeWarren, Michigan, United StatesSeptember 4, 2024Pros: Good work-life balance. Decent benefits. Friendly team members.Cons: Low to medium pay Slow growth Unethical recruiting for CAE
- 4.0Good place with good benefits and pay for SE Michigan non-software engineersCAE Engineer • Current EmployeeWarren, Michigan, United StatesDecember 23, 2023Pros: For non-software engineering roles, employee pay is pretty good. It's probably the best in the state of Michigan for the automotive industry, at least. For the role specifically, it largely depends on your group/title for what software you'll be using. - Good pay - Good benefits (salary starts at 3 weeks and at 2 years you get 4 weeks) - 17 holidays (including shutdowns)Cons: Job Security. Not sure how long I'll have a job.
