Pros

Flexible work schedules, work from home with COVID, competitive benefits and generous bonuses, reasonable work loads, friendly atmosphere.

Cons

In my opinion, there is lots of redundancy in processes and too much time spent on PowerPoints and structured meetings.

Advice to Management

In my opinion, folks that have been there for over 20 years (and sometimes less than that) are too stuck in their ways and too conservative.

To some extent, I think the culture contributes to this way of thinking.

My opinion is that politics drives too many engineering decisions instead of technical factors.

I am also concerned GM is doing things like they did in the old days by trying to tell customers what they should be buying rather than just making what they want.
