General Motors

The benefits are excellent (401k and health/dental insurance).

The end-of-year bonuses are also great.

Managers are reasonable for the most part.

The provided equipment (computer, monitors, etc.) is top-of-the-line.

Lack of work-life balance. You have little say in terms of management policies.

Being on call is awful; you feel like a slave to your job the entire time.

There is a severe lack of communication among project teams (PMs will schedule you to do tasks and then not even send out the schedule).

There is awful communication between teams, and involved parties are rarely informed of upcoming work, which causes a lot of last-minute requests.

This is not the type of job that is good for someone who has a family and other priorities.

Improve the work-life balance and fix the awful on-call policies.
