Good Company to Start a Career After School
Good Company to Start a Career After School
Large company with many interesting assignments and projects. Excellent place for a young graduate to learn, gain experience, and start a career. Maybe even stay for life if selected for development. Doing well along with the rest of the auto industry and much improved financials.
Many silos, cultural torpor, and misplaced arrogance from an earlier era of greatness in certain circles.
Experienced hires cannot make job changes and usually are not selected for development, a side effect of the "frozen middle".
So, it is a bad place to end a career unless the job offered is really the final job one seeks.
Some "creative destruction" may help in this case. The company has such a legacy that makes it so hard to change its culture, even though everyone agrees it needs to be done.
Be nimble, humble, and move fast, as other competitors are closing in. Acting like GM is still #1 is so out of date, because it is not anymore.
Keep in mind culture is what people do. Asking the same people doing the same thing over and over to just change their culture is not going to cut it.

The hiring process was not technical. They asked about projects and work experience stated in my resume. The interview process was very conversational. The interviewers seemed very friendly and focused mainly on behavioral questions.

I met with GM recruiters at a campus career fair. They took resumes and scheduled on-campus interviews that night for the next day (non-technical). I passed the initial round and was flown out to Detroit for the final round (also non-technical).

I talked and resumed with recruiters during the campus career fair. I was invited to an on-campus interview the same week. The final round of interviews took place in Detroit a couple of weeks later.
