A Relic that has a lot of catching up to do
- It's a good place to start your career.
- Decent work/life balance (this does depend on your team).
- Nice benefits package, with a matching 401k (up to 8%), good health insurance, and a decent amount of PTO, etc.
- The company is in a transformational state and has potential when it chooses not to squander it.
- Yearly bonus can be generous.
GM could absolutely afford to pay its software developers better. GM has some lofty ambitions in its current transformational state but does not compensate to match these ambitions.
Changed the definition of work appropriately, which allowed team management to decide whether or not it is necessary for their group to work in the office. Upper management will be mandating all teams to return regardless of the team's needs. This was the one benefit that made GM competitive in tech. They will absolutely have a harder time attracting/retaining good talent with this move.
Experience varies from team to team.
Many best practices for software development are ignored.
Top performers are not rewarded.
Weakest performers can skate by without any repercussions.
I keep hearing upper-level management talk about recruiting top talent in the tech space from companies like Google, Meta, etc.
If you're really serious about that, I would highly recommend taking a serious look at the pay structure and benefits package. GM's pay in the tech space is hardly competitive.

They use HireVue for their initial interview process, some behavioral questions, and some coding questions. It’s about a two-hour process, easy to do. Afterwards, you get a meeting with two team members, and they ask similar behavioral questions.

I met them at a career fair and got set up with an interview on campus. The first interview is largely behavioral, with a chance to get to know more about the company. There was one technical question thrown in, but it wasn't very hard.
