Overall Good Company to Work For. Good Work/Life Balance
GM values family time and work-life balance, for the most part. It's typically a very open and accepting company, very large with good pay and benefits. There's a good amount of opportunity, for the most part. There's less favoritism and a more intelligent workforce than other OEMs, in my experience.
Not a complete meritocracy. Time at the company and connections do matter. It's very large, so it's difficult to get things done or get support at times. There's a lot of red tape and convoluted systems to use. An intense amount of time is spent on diversity, inclusion, and social issues, and stuff that is non-constructive to the business. The company is very politically and socially involved, and that can get rather annoying if your goal is to stay out of that stuff and just help the company make great vehicles.
Focus on making a good product and less about being on the right side of social issues and popular culture. Lead with sound logic and solid engineering instead of just following TESLA all the time and trying to win over Wall Street in a reactive manner.

Situation-based questions. GM uses HireVue to conduct initial screening, which can be frustrating if you've never experienced it before. Always take the first question as a way to practice what you are going to say and how you are going to say it.

First phone interview with HR director, followed by two one-on-one interviews. Informed that they are using STAR format by HR personnel via email before the on-site interview. Few technical questions along the way.
