September 1, 2016

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

30 mins behavioural, 30 mins technical. The recruiters were nice, and the questions weren't that hard. I didn't get the offer because I didn't prepare well.

Read some online behavioural questions and some basic technical questions and algorithms. Nothing surprising, just prepare yourself as you should.

General Motors Work Experiences

Good Pay, Unstructured Growth

Software Developer • Current Employee

Austin, Texas, United States

Pros: Great pay, and work hours seem to be flexible. Okay benefits, and everyone has access to company cars. The reallocation package is nice.

Cons: Very unstructured, and everyone here is new. So, there really aren't many people to go to for help with basic things. I'm fresh out of college. I want to be surrounded by people that can help me grow, not a ton of other college hires. Too many people here are lost and confused. If they offer you a job after one interview, be cautious.

Good Benefits, Toxic Management

Software Developer • Current Employee

Austin, Texas, United States

Pros: Decent salary and medical is very good here. The cost for prescriptions is low, even with the lowest plan.

Cons: Managers in IT are very underqualified. A lot of the time, they will ask leading questions, trying to passive-aggressively get you to admit to something or make a point that you don't want to make, which is a huge waste of time. Rumors are spread among directors, and gossip is not discouraged.
