General Motors

Great pay. Great benefits. Excellent vacation, 401k, and bonus.

The biggest issue is management and leadership.

Quality, first-line managers who genuinely care about their employees and their teams are hard to come by. Upper management is tone-deaf when it comes to understanding culture. Things like execs walking the cubes at 5:30 pm and checking to see who is still at work are ridiculous practices that should be abolished.

Lots of horror stories of favoritism and lack of interest in career development from managers towards their employees.

Pay closer attention to who your managers are. Management has been a severely lacking skill at GM. Team culture and dynamics are important.

Good developers are not an easily replaceable resource.
