General Motors

Impressive engineering talent.

Large variety of roles and opportunities.

Friendly coworkers.

Great benefits and good initial starting pay.

Executive leadership has been actively sabotaging the company culture. Positive working environments and popular policies have been rolled back or eliminated by executives trying to force attrition of employees to reduce headcount.

A forced return to office after years of a "work appropriately" policy, which was very popular, has only resulted in sitting on Teams calls all day.

Announcing layoffs after months of promising no layoffs.

Dishonesty and lack of communication from Executive Leadership. Patronizing corporate doublespeak.

The company has a serious meeting problem. Meetings are all day, every day, and the scope is too broad.

You are definitely treated as a number and can be eliminated at any time on the whims of executives to meet their share price targets. The longer you stay, the more your pay slips become that of new hires, even with promotions.

Value your employees more. When I started, everyone liked working here. Over time, things went from good to bad to even worse. Just treat us like adults when announcing layoffs instead of intentionally making the workplace toxic so that people leave.
