General Motors Work Experiences
- 2.0Not a Software DeveloperEntry Level Software Developer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesSeptember 16, 2020Pros: Great benefits. Slightly below average salary.Cons: You will be placed in a random team. * It seems like more often than not, they need non-development teams to be filled. * Ironically, I've seen people with a development background placed in a non-development team, and people without a development background in a development team. If you are looking to grow as a software developer, I would avoid entry-level positions at General Motors because you will most likely not do any software development. Additionally, moving horizontally to another team is impossible, despite how proactive you are in networking with other teams. You are essentially locked into your team; on average, three years it seems like. I've seen plenty of entry-level software developers in the company for 0 to 3 years not doing any software development.
- 4.0Good Start, Raise WaitEntry Level Software Developer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesAugust 9, 2021Pros: Decent entry-level position. Friendly coworkers. Work-life balance is easy to maintain. Yearly raises and bonuses based on performance.Cons: Long wait for a raise. I still haven’t completed my first year, so I still haven’t received a raise or bonus. But according to my manager, I am exceeding expectations. Hopefully, that pays off.
