Process
The first interview was done via HireVue and consisted of about 8 standard interview questions and 3 cognitive games.
To respond to the questions, I had to record a timed response for each question using my webcam. This was a new and slightly stressful experience due to not having another human to interact with. I overcame this difficulty by reading the questions out loud to myself as if someone was asking me them. This allowed me to flow into a well-articulated response smoothly with good answers.
The games were all timed, of course, and consisted of:
- 1 math game
- 1 memorization game
- 1 pattern matching game
Overall, I think it was a pretty nice experience.

General Motors Work Experiences
- 3.0Great until the layoffsSoftware Developer • Former EmployeeChandler, Arizona, United StatesFebruary 10, 2025Pros: - Good team - Good pay and benefitsCons: - No job security - A lot of overhead
- 1.0Bad Culture, Decent PaySoftware Developer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesNovember 27, 2018Pros: Good benefits and decent pay.Cons: GM has one of the worst cultures I have ever experienced in my entire career. There's micromanagement up and down in the IT organization. Most of the managers are not even qualified to become managers; they are just there due to their bosses' favoritism/politics. Developer's life is a complete mess. Everything is slowly being pushed to developers (testing, operations). PLEASE AVOID GM IT IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE. IT'S A TRAP!
- 4.0Not a bad gig. And there's nothing you can do about itSoftware Developer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesApril 4, 2016Pros: Great work-life balance. The work is typically easy, but there are challenges available to you should you choose to seek them. Tons of vacation days. This is my first full-time job out of college, so I'm mainly going by how my friends and senior coworkers describe their old jobs.Cons: Being a huge corporation, the environment is ripe with bureaucracy. There is next to no way to change the status quo.
