A great learning environment for a new employee
Great benefits and pay for a recent graduate. Vacation time is amazing.
Everyone I've worked with directly is competent and helpful.
Mobility within the company: If you don't like where you are, it's easy to research other groups within the company and move around. Seems like no one stays in one place for more than 5 years, and often less.
Corporate sluggishness - I'd imagine this comes with most companies the size of GM, but it's frustrating how much documentation and review is required for even small software changes. This definitely puts us at a disadvantage when trying to remain on the cutting edge of innovation.
Upper management feels distant - Again, it's a huge company, but I've never even seen any of the upper execs. Milford is definitely isolated from the rest of the company and, in some ways, treated as inferior (neglect for facilities, etc.).
Let your engineers loose. There are a ton of people working here that are bogged down in paperwork, when they could be creating.
