Java Developer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
I applied online and received a call within a week. There was a short call with the recruiter, who then scheduled a call with the hiring manager in about a week's time. The hiring manager was nice, and the interview was based on STAR pattern questions and a few technical ones.
Later, I received a call for an onsite/in-person interview. It had two rounds: one with the hiring manager and another with the dev manager. Both involved a set of questions in the STAR pattern. The dev manager asked technical questions related to my resume, nothing unexpected.
Even though the interview went well, I never received feedback or an offer. The recruiter was very positive, but I don't know what happened later on.

General Motors Work Experiences
- 1.0Advancement opportunities and pay raises limitedJava Developer • Former EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesJuly 5, 2019Pros: There are a lot of paid holidays at GM. You will be pleasantly surprised at the number of days around Xmas that you will get off. Pay is OK.Cons: There have been limited pay raises over the past few years, even for the top performers. Also, manager and director level positions are oversaturated, so join here only if you are okay with being stuck at the same level for a while. Lastly, the work environment is stressful. The work itself is okay, but unrealistic expectations from managers who don't know how the job is done will eventually get to you.
- 1.0Nice Facility, Arrogant LeadersJava Developer • Former EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesJune 7, 2019Pros: I liked the cafeteria and state-of-the-art facility.Cons: People leaders are fairly arrogant. When new ideas are suggested, we usually get rhetoric around it not being in the playbook, or we are just told no.
- 1.0Too few worker beesJava Developer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesJune 1, 2019Pros: A lot of online training modules are available and good employee discounts.Cons: Management, both here in Austin and Michigan, seems a bit rudderless. A lot of work is done on projects that people know add little business value, but we need to use the budget up this year. My director and manager lack overall technical knowledge and IT experience.
