General Motors Work Experiences
- 5.0Great Perks, Some BureaucracySoftware Developer • Current EmployeeDetroit, Michigan, United StatesJune 10, 2017Pros: Salary, Benefits, Flexibility, Bonuses, Vehicle Discounts, Opportunity for Movement & Growth.Cons: Typical politics and bureaucracy are inherent to large corporations, but the pros outweigh the cons. Anything is possible with the right presentation, position, and persistence.
- 3.0A good place to start, but hard to advanceSoftware Developer • Former EmployeeChandler, Arizona, United StatesMay 7, 2019Pros: This was my first job out of college, and for a first job, it was a good one. I got to learn a lot and work with some nice and talented people. The facility in Chandler is nice and new, and close to plenty of food options nearby. The benefits and yearly bonus are some of the best around.Cons: There were a bunch of unkept promises. They sell you on the fact that moving between teams is an easy option if you get bored or want to try something new. Not so easy. I worked at GM for over four years and spent over two trying to switch teams. The new college hire program could use work too. Many people just get placed on teams and into positions that don’t even align with what they learned in college. You end up with people in developer roles that aren’t developers, and developers that are placed in tester positions, etc.
- 3.0Good Balance, Weird WorkSoftware Developer • Former EmployeeDetroit, Michigan, United StatesMarch 3, 2021Pros: Good work-life balance with flexible working hours.Cons: Nothing related to software development at all.
