Pros

Strong pay and benefits, a short drive to work.

Cons

Promotions are based more on diversity than merit. There are no objective measures.

Seriously overworked since the layoffs last February.

The CEO is betting the company on an EV and autonomous vehicle strategy that is not viable when you look at the details.

It is very apparent that GM will be unable to lead in the EV market.

Anxiety about when the next layoffs will take place.

Advice to Management

Get a new CEO.

Care about your employees by developing objective measures for performance. Use these to justify promotions instead of selection based on diversity.
