Entry Level Software Developer Interview Experience
Process
5-star questions on HireView, coding assessments (program that converts Morse to text & I forgot the other one), and then phone screen (only made it this far). The phone screen was really simple, and apparently they only had positions open in Michigan. I applied for the Austin location, and was never told about that until the phone screen. She knew I was not convinced, and the same day I received a rejection email. I live 3 hours from Austin, and I would not like to live in Detroit. I don’t buy it (I have 2 friends at the Austin location) since I was told the Austin location is still hiring. Back to job hunting!

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.
- 4.0Great Start, Slow GrowthEntry Level Software Developer • Current EmployeeDetroit, Michigan, United StatesMarch 5, 2021Pros: Salary is decent, with good salary growth for new college graduates and a lot of potential for career growth.Cons: The salary growth after your first 3 years will be very slow. It looks like most raises will come from promotions.
- 2.0Go somewhere betterEntry Level Software Developer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesJanuary 18, 2024Pros: Chill, relaxed, not too stressful.Cons: An untrustworthy place that goes back on their word.
