Great Tech, Unfair Promotions
Great Tech, Unfair Promotions
Opportunity to work with new technology, enabling you to gain skills if you are in a good area.
Good pay (but poor work-life balance), vacation, and benefits.
The company seems to be in an upswing.
Promotions, raises, and bonuses have nothing to do with how well you perform or what you contribute, but rather how much you "kiss up" to management. Many talented employees leave because they are not rewarded appropriately. Overall, it is a very unfair place to work, rampant with cronyism and managers seeking to have their egos stroked. Over the last five years, many unqualified people have been promoted to management positions without earning or deserving it.
Dinosauric managers need to be retired.
If GM wants to become a "workplace of choice" like they always tout, they need to treat everyone fairly, and rewards need to be performance- and merit-based, not based on who you know.
GM's vision & values is an admirable goal, but a far cry from reality. These values will never be achieved without modern management.

It was fairly quick and organized. It might be because I applied early in the process, but I received an HireVue link that consisted of 6 behavioral questions, and then you played some logic/fun games after.
