Great company, good people
Great company, good people
I loved my time at GM. The people were great, and I lucked out with my team placement. People's experiences vary from team to team (as with every company), but in my area, my coworkers are what kept me around for so many years. The benefits outside of pay are excellent. The move to an internal cloud service has eliminated many of my complaints about infrastructure at GM.
Upward mobility is somewhat limited for developers. Corporate management is still learning how to deal with an in-house IT team, and so you can sometimes feel like IT is an afterthought. Compensation, as far as base salary is concerned, is lacking compared to other companies around Austin.
Value your developers. You are losing good people when they can leave and get double-digit percentage bumps in pay.
