Unless you are starving, look elsewhere
Unless you are starving, look elsewhere
The General typically starts you out at a higher salary. It looks good on a resume, and you can learn a lot if you ask many questions.
General Motors expects you to be available 24/7. Salary employees can be walking out the door and they will be stopped and told to work OT, no matter what. A fellow engineer was fired for going on his honeymoon, after he had a signed vacation slip from his boss a year earlier. I left General Motors after five years and realized I forgot how nice life can be.
Get in touch with reality. You are losing your best asset (young ambitious engineers) because you expect them to give their life to the company.

General Motors Interview Questions
General Motors Interview Experiences
Execution Engineer
Everything was online throughout General Motors' system of Workday. The whole interview process took about 1-2 months from submission to potential job offer. Initial interviews are recordings of yourself being asked questions in S.T.A.R. format.
Quality Assurance Engineer
Overall, easy questions. They asked questions from my experience and resume. I applied online, and the recruiter called me the same day. First, I had an interview with the hiring manager, which was pretty cool. The technical interview also went well
Manufacturing Engineer Intern
Was only given a behavioral interview that consisted of 2 behavioral questions and 2 technical questions. It follows the STAR concept very thoroughly. If you don't answer one part of the STAR method, they will ask you about it in more detail.
