Process
I interviewed when they were hiring like crazy, so it wasn't difficult.
I had two interviews with no technical questions. Both interviews were with managers from GM, and they were both laid-back. One even helped refine my answers when she wrote them down to give me a better chance.
Questions
Basic behavioral questions and a few about my internship.

Fine for beginners
Software Developer • Former Employee

Pros: The people are pretty good, and your manager will care about you.
Cons: Not a lot of room for upward growth except on their timeline. This is a very slow timeline. They will often keep you in place and give you more responsibilities without promotion for years.

Bad Culture, Decent Pay
Software Developer • Current Employee
Austin, Texas, United States
November 27, 2018
Pros: 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!
