Process
I got a callback from a recruiter who seemed pretty impressed with me. It wasn't for a few weeks that I found out they were canceling the job. The interview probably took about fifteen minutes. He said he would give my interview to the hiring manager, but nothing came of it.

Complete waste of time
Engineer • Current Employee
Warren, Michigan, United States
January 8, 2019
Pros: Pay is not bad compared to other companies, and benefits are ok.
Cons: You'll be stuck under some "level 8 lead" that basically kills any creativity you may have.
Throw away any good ideas and creative thinking before you join GM, because all you're going to do is fill up PowerPoints and be forced to attend meetings.
Zero chances of advancement in your same team, just some layoff threats after years of very hard and dedicated work.

Respectful, But Slow Growth
Engineer • Former Employee

Cons: Low growth, deficit, financial, old company.

Easy to get burned out
Engineer • Current Employee
Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
November 29, 2012
Pros: It's very rewarding seeing your product on the road.
Great benefits.
Cons: Very little motivation when raises aren't given.
Engineers are project managers and don't really do much "engineering", just a lot of supervising and paperwork.
Unless you are in Detroit, you feel very disconnected from the company.
