Pros: A big company with many projects that you can switch between.

Cons: A very restrictive policy. The company tries to implement one policy around the world that sometimes does not apply to the respective country, impairing job flexibility.

Pros: My management has been great. They are always willing to listen and help if you need it. Directors are always pushing for better and greater things. This is a good challenge for my organization.

Cons: It seems to me that we are overstaffed and some resources are not used as they should be. Some of the projects are not challenging enough. Some of the management in other teams is not as open as it is in my case.

Pros: I was so excited when GM recruited me from my university. My family had bought GM vehicles all our lives, and I was excited to work for them. There is no shortage of work; expect longer than average workdays. There are many opportunities to get involved with the Arizona Innovation Center and plenty of good people.

Cons: Anyone is fair game for elimination at any time. We had a small team of programmers in Chandler, and we were very busy, working non-stop 10 days a week. In February, we were individually escorted to a conference room where each of us was 'separated' from the firm. None of this made sense, as we were doing good work and always busy. Also, it takes 3 years for your $401K to fully vest. As I was coming up on 3 years, the large amount of money that GM had contributed to my retirement was gone. Keep in mind that your $401K will be at risk of not vesting if you leave the company before 3 years or your job is eliminated.
