General Motors

Good salary considering the lower than average cost of living in Michigan.

Benefits are solid: low-ish healthcare premiums, great contributions to HSA, and parental leave for males.

PTO is good. You start at 15 days, increasing to 20 days on year #2, increasing to 25 on your 10th year, and then 30 days on your 20th year.

Work-life balance as a DRE working on electric vehicles is horrible. Long hours and zero overtime pay.

Accountability for people outside the DRE role is non-existent. Everybody expects you to know everything about your part, and more importantly, every single thing related to your part has to be executed to perfection, even if the actions are other people's responsibility, like Validation Engineering, Suppliers, Purchasing, etc. You, as DRE, will be held accountable, period. Zero excuses.

Your performance will be judged on perception and self-branding. If you are not good at public relations and perception, you will never exceed expectations nor get any promotions.
