Process
Received a call from General Motors after a Career Fair. The call was straightforward, just behavioral questions.
After a couple of weeks, I interviewed in person with two different people at the Renaissance Center. Again, these questions weren't difficult at all; some behavioral questions and general interview questions, I just had to respond in a STAR format.
They may also ask you questions based on your resume, so make sure you review that a bit.

It was once a good and fun place to work
Software Developer • Former Employee
Chandler, Arizona, United States
May 5, 2024
Pros: Good work-life balance.
At an average or slightly higher salary for the local area, which is fair though not very high compared to the Bay Area, WA, etc.
Direct reports basically have good support, and co-workers are super friendly, willing to help, and listen.
Many resources are also provided for self-learning and training programs.
Cons: Chaos management or leadership brought by SLT since the end of 2022.
And the forced back-to-office policy caused the center or site to not be able to provide enough cubes to fit everyone, which means you have to share cubes or use hotel cubes when you are back in the office. While the policy requires 3 days back and 2 days remote, it still seems to be working fine, but if it were 5 days back in the office, I can guarantee no center would have enough workspace for everyone to sit down.

A good place to start, but not a place to stay
Software Developer • Current Employee
Austin, Texas, United States
February 15, 2015
Pros: Relatively easy to get the job offer.
Good work-life balance.
Good mentorship (at least in my team).
I'm lucky that my team members were really helpful when I just started. When I had questions, I could always find the right people to ask, and it worked well. Also, my manager is really nice and cares about my growth.
Cons: Low starting salary.
Lots of red tape.
Bullying new hires.
You need to know how to deal with people like a politician to survive. Experienced employees like bullying and stabbing others (especially new hires) in the back. Technical skill is less important than communication skill. Your performance is evaluated by whom you know, not what you know.
Starting salary is the same for all new hires regardless of their background, and it's below the average. No matter if you are a CS major or business major, the salary is all the same for software developers.
