Used to be a great place with good leaders, but cyclical
Good, dedicated co-workers. Good bonuses... if you aren't Team GM Minus, lolz.
The business is cyclical, and you can only sell so many cars every year for so long. The company, and perhaps the whole industry, is obsessed with being Tesla. So, we will all probably be expected to work like Tesla engineers.
The industry is trying to pull off a massive transformation during some very challenging macroeconomic conditions.
Frankly, I don't really see a reason why we need this many cars in general. Even if we can have insane levels of EV adoption, the only reasonable way to reach climate goals is to probably have more e-bikes and public transport.
Not saying cars are evil, but management already knows that GM (and car companies) will NEVER be able to sell as many cars as they have in the past.
And after the whole SDV 2.0 is successful (SLT will probably fire entire organizations until they can achieve this), there will no longer be a need for the insane levels of bloat we have.
So, not really advice for management but for employees: get out while you still can.

General Motors Interview Experiences
Performance Calibration Engineer
Consisted of a video recorded first round, then a hiring manager interview. It was 1 hour. A very easy process, and only behavior-based questions related to work experience. The overall process is pretty straightforward.
Model-based Control Engineer
I was expecting a technical interview, but I got the standard STAR behavioral questions, like: give a time when you had a conflict with a teammate; how did you solve it; what did you learn; and how did you apply it to other problems?
Validation Engineer
Very friendly talk atmosphere. Most questions are behavioral. For example, how to deal with time collisions or how to resolve a problem when your coworker has a different opinion. Then the team lead gives some specific questions to answer.
