Pros: Collaborative environment, with friendly people to work with.

Cons: Human Resources is difficult. Low productivity is due to a lack of onboarding from the team.

Pros: Provide regular vacation and sick time. Understand if you have a medical or personal issue. Offer flexible schedules for some folks. Allow work from home if job responsibilities allow.

Cons: Narrow focus of responsibilities. Hard to change jobs. Management not progressive. Little room for discussion if you disagree with management direction.

Pros: Competitive pay, great benefits, and lots of opportunities to work on various projects.

Cons: Forced ranking has created a fairly toxic culture. This is especially because, historically, GM has promoted those who stay/survive, not the most competent. This has created a lot of leadership who are more incompetent than the engineers performing the work. Although GM has said that leadership will also be held to the forced rankings, I've currently only seen engineers being laid off, with the occasional team of engineers and their respective manager. As of now, it seems that GM is still retaining more middle management, despite already being fairly bloated. Hopefully, things will change soon without losing too many engineers in the process.
