Pros

Not that I can think of.

Cons

Horrible experience.

GM got rid of this program that allowed you to rent any GM car for free for a week.

Not only that, my boss completely bullied and harassed me. He got angry very quickly and has no sympathy for other people. He's able to manipulate higher management so even if I complained about him, they'd only believe him.

HR is a joke. They won't help in cases of discrimination.

I learned nothing about the software development life cycle. He just threw random work at me, and I felt as though my skills were stagnating.

GM IT doesn't hire a lot of computer science or computer engineering prior, either. They're giving software development jobs to psychology and sociology majors. WHAT A JOKE!

Steer clear from them.

Pay is also very below average for a software developer. They don't treat you well, especially if you're a new college grad. You're better off at a company that actually cares and pays its employees more.

Advice to Management

Stop hiring people with non-tech backgrounds. This shows that the quality of your developers sucks. And take cases of discrimination seriously before a lawsuit comes knocking on your door.
