Pros

A very good work-life balance.

A superb 401k match, vacations, etc.

All the company benefits are really nice.

The employee discount on the car is not so great, but that is fine.

Cons

The recruiter would put software developers in random teams without understanding their roles or duties. In my position, there is hardly any development and more of other IT administration work, which I did not sign up for. With time, I found out this has happened with a lot more people. I do like my job, but at the same time, I signed up to be a developer, so yeah, that is a big risk while joining GM. Make sure to ask the recruiter about the role (though I did, and I was not told anything).

Pay is decent but below market average.

Advice to Management

Align the job titles of new hires with their duties.
