Pay is great.
They respect work-life balance. By that, I mean many clock out six to seven hours into an eight-hour day.
Progress is slow, so there is very little need to train after initial training.
Nice, friendly, and helpful people.
Everyone is looking for something better. Any wanting to improve will drain you, as progress is slow. Any attempts at making something newer will have heavy pushback. Expect to have to do stupid things to make the new work like the old. Plus, standards are ancient, and testing is primarily human review.
Worst comes if you get promoted, as you'll have to reach out to other teams, which will make your life hell. You will have to cover your behind and kiss theirs to get your work done.
Anyone willing to try will be overworked, working weekends with 3+ roles at least.
They know all the issues. Most of the problems come from on high or are due to the median age of a mainframe developer at GM.

I had an overall 1-hour interview through Skype. I didn't get the job, and I shared all of my experience and skills. At least please mention the reason. How can one prove their skills in a 1-hour interview? I don't know.
