General Motors

The engineering organization is fairly good. They have their act together in more departments than not. The company is large, and some departments suck. People are pretty laid back. Some of the work is quite interesting and challenging.

HRM is horrific. The IT organizations are horrific, bureaucratic, and arrogant, and deliver expensive corporate databases that don't work. I would avoid all IT jobs. The corporate staffs are screwed-up, white-collar welfare departments; avoid them too. The only places I would work would be engineering or finance. You can have a good and satisfying job and career in those areas, with not much hope anywhere else.

We need to start over with the IS&S and IT departments, which are a big, ugly mess being hidden from top management with too much hot air. We need to replace current top management in those areas. The IT situation is horrid and getting worse, dominated by political hacks that fool top management.
