Entry Level Software Engineer Interview Experience - Warren, Michigan
Process
Blocked by a coding interview with nonstandard questions. The questions were things you've seen in any easy-medium HackerRank or LeetCode. But there were three, and they required building from scratch and getting user input rather than the usual format of having the input in an array or matrix. No boilerplate either.
This threw me off, and I wasted too much of my time remembering syntax I hadn't practiced since year one of college. I solved one and got close on the other and ran out of time for the third.
Testing my code was also unreasonably difficult, and it would freeze, making me waste time refreshing and logging back in as well. I'm not sure if that's on GM's side or HireVue's side.
No second interview or anything, of course.
Questions
A variation of the gas station problem from LeetCode, and I forgot the other two.

General Motors Work Experiences
- 3.0Decent First JobEntry Level Software Engineer • Former EmployeeChandler, Arizona, United StatesJanuary 30, 2024Pros: It was pretty chill, with good benefits, and I learned a lot in my initial year. But after that, upper management decided to lay off the majority of senior developers and leaders across the company, which destroyed team cohesion and morale. For those that remained, we were told to "do less with less," but in reality, it was "do more with less," and people quickly got overwhelmed.Cons: Poor communication and transparency with upper management. No mentoring and lack of career growth.
- 4.0Good Benefits, Low Starting PayEntry Level Software Engineer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesMarch 15, 2022Pros: GM has good benefits and vacation/holidays.Cons: Starting salary is a bit lower than would be expected.
