General Motors

• Innovative products.
• Talented workforce with many people to learn from.
• Plenty of employee resource groups to join.
• Genuine people who want to help you develop and grow.
• Plenty of ways to give back to the community.
• Several positions or products to explore.
• Available tools and resources at your disposal.
• Pay is good for the Midwest; finding other companies that can compete is hard. I can say the same for the benefits as well.

• Good old boys club in some areas.
• Competitive environment hurts more than it helps.
• Lack of sponsorship for growth.
• Poor incentivizing does not result in good behavior.
• It's hard to get a promotion even when you're already doing the work and exceed the years of experience required.
• Your time on the team could impact your performance review.
• It feels as though they're using your age to decide whether or not to promote you.
