Pros

Flexibility to work from home and overall nice people.

Cons

Work-life balance does not exist in the battery org. at GM. Deadlines are unrealistic, with things being pushed out without properly doing the necessary engineering work. There is a lot of confusion as to goals and requirements in the group as well. I would advise anyone to avoid the battery group at GM like the plague. This group has high turnover, and everyone who has joined this group regrets it.

Advice to Management

Have realistic deadlines so engineering can properly do development work. The new chief engineer in the battery org. is very abusive and aggressive towards lower-level employees and needs to go. The way you are operating this company by taking a short-term approach will all but guarantee that Toyota will leave you in the dust.
