Pros: GM has always been pro work-life balance since the day I started. They've always made sure I am taking my time off and not working too late. Most holidays will get a half-day off before, and many others.

Cons: The whole Arizona office was closed without merit or replacement.

Pros: Excellent benefits. Get to drive GM cars for free for up to one week. Up to 8% 401K matching, with a $1500 FSA account bonus if you enroll in a physical within November of your first year (wellness credit). Also eligible for $3000 in bonuses every 6 months, for up to your first three years as a new hire. Starting salary is also competitive.

Cons: Way too many people. They hired 130 new hires out of college for 2014. You do not have the option to work from home. GM also has a culture of pretending to be busy. They don't exactly assign you too much work or provide adequate mentorship/supervision. This leads to a lot of poor candidates/hires that are either not knowledgeable about IT processes, development, systems analysis, SQL (DBA), etc. By hiring that many people to fill their new innovation centers, GM ends up hiring way too many under-qualified individuals, with the end result of an ineffective in-house IT. Internal systems are also slow, overwhelmed, or simply cannot keep up with the large number of employees and new hires enrolling for courses and classes.

Pros: There is work-life balance.

Cons: You probably need to be lucky to do the work you want to do.
