Pros

Well, the pay is alright as long as you don't end up living in CA. Otherwise, you are going to struggle.

The work is really relaxed; most days aren't stressful, but once it gets busy, man does it get busy.

Other than that, not much is going on right now. Although it wants to build its tech department a lot in the coming years, so if you want an easy company to get into, GM is the way to go.

Cons

Bureaucracy is huge.

Lots of office politics.

Not really a good work culture.

As an entry-level employee, you're not given many opportunities to build yourself.

Most of the leads and staff don't actually know how to code.

It's not a tech company, it's a manufacturing company, so just keep that in mind when you are applying.
