Pros: Good benefits, nice office equipment.

Cons: Awful, incommunicative, egocentric managers who only cover their own hides by licking the boots of directors. They provide no direction to subordinates and leave you in the dark, wondering what to do.

Pros: - Great benefits - Often fairly relaxed - Most coworkers are fairly nice - Looks great on your resume

Cons: GM has a culture of mediocrity that seeps through in everything it does. I've met a few sharp colleagues here, but I've met just as many who are barely capable of using a computer, much less performing their job. The people in tech leadership positions often tend to be more incompetent than the grunts, and this can lead to drama and politics. The business is Waterfall, and the Agile practices followed by developers are purely ceremonial. No amount of extra effort will ever get you recognized. If anything, it will get you in trouble. It doesn't matter that you've worked far more hours and far more efficiently than many of your coworkers; you look the same to the company as the guy who works 6 hours a day, overestimates his tasks, and lies on his timesheets. Overperforming makes you a threat and will be met with retribution. Do not depend on the "no-retaliation" policy. If you don't lie on metrics, you will be crushed by those that do. * Outdated tech stack. * Incompetent, infuriating UX teams. * Incompetent, infuriating business. * Incompetent facilities. * Incompetent, political management. * Uncompetitive base pay. * Teams are completely, irrevocably siloed. * Awareline is a joke. * Incompetent leaders are transferred instead of fired. * If you're a senior developer, you'll probably be the first to go when there's a layoff. Things happen at a glacial pace. This is just the nature of a large company like GM. The company is all talk and no action.

Pros: Good benefits. Lots of PTO.

Cons: Terrible management. I've been on 2 teams now where the project turns into an absolute dumpster fire because the managers are awful. On top of that, they will take absolutely zero responsibility for anything going wrong with the project.
