General Motors

It's a really good job to start out and grow with experience, and even move up if you wanted to (that is, if you're able to stay that long).

I started as a new college hire, but the transition to be a full-fledged software developer was slow but very relaxed.

My team really pushed the idea of work-life balance. Like, the manager doesn't care what we do on our WFH days as long as we get our tasks done by the deadline.

I really liked that because it's less pressure.

On top of that, my manager doesn't micromanage.

It really depends on your team and how you interact with them, but I was certainly lucky and grateful for the team that I had.

Honestly, if it were my decision, I would have stayed longer.

The company itself does not seem to care for its workers, as they shut down the entire Arizona Innovation Center, leading to everyone losing their jobs, including myself. They also refused to answer anyone's questions or concerns regarding these layoffs.

Their reasoning was to be "more competitive" or "reduce cost" (total BS, but whatever).

They also will ignore any mention involving remote positions like the plague for some reason.
