Pros

Work on devices that people take their families in, instead of hold them in their hands. Tech is cool and interesting.

Cons

Pay isn't up to the level it should be. Depending on the team you're in, your growth and promotions are decided not based on your work. Your workload greatly varies depending on your team. Leadership chases the newest, coolest trends instead of working on the core product and bettering that. California leadership treats the rest of the company as less than them.

Advice to Management

GM should stop chasing and getting laid off by people they release code to prod once a year. It doesn't really compare. You can create a bad company at any time. Just remember the reasons people come to GM and leverage those instead of swimming in the same way. Long term, it will help GM.
