Pros

People here are young, optimistic, and eager to learn.

The cafeteria also serves awesome food.

This makes lunchtime awesome... just a bunch of chill people eating good food.

Cons

The company has a very simple and effective work plan:

  • The recruiters lie to people to get them in.
  • Once in, managers dump 3x the work that any person can humanly handle.
  • Then HR makes sure that they get a "poor performer" review if they try to look for a job at another company.

How do you get out of this perpetual cycle?

You don't!

You work till you're worn out, at which point you are quietly replaced by a fresh young college hire. GM has been around for a very long time, and they've gotten pretty good at this game. If you want to work here, just know what you are getting yourself into. And good luck.
