Pros: - Good mentorship from managers and senior devs.
- Work with relevant languages and technologies.
- Positive culture within the team.
- Low-stress environment.
Cons: Being such a historic, corporate company, GM's efforts to transform and act as a trendy, tech-forward company are often lost.
Orientation was generic, largely irrelevant for me, and lasted months.
* Moves a bit slow.
* Lots of corporate restructuring (2 new managers in less than a year).
* Experience is highly team dependent (I was on a great team).
* Pay is quite low compared to industry standard.
* Easy to feel complacent (almost too chill).
