General Motors

Laid-back culture on some teams (emphasis on some). Depending on the manager, not that strict about hours in the office. Health benefits and a percentage match for 401k were good.

Constant reorganizations.

Seems to happen regularly every few years to the same effect: chaos and uncertainty.

Unsympathetic business leaders and managers who don't understand or care about tech debt or the actual work that goes into building software.

Seems like there might be a discrepancy between the new upper leadership (mainly from Apple) and engineering leaders wanting to transform GM into a 'tech' company, and mid/lower-level management who only care about meeting hard deadlines. This placed unrealistic expectations on engineers and resulted in failed launches and half-assed products.

Tons of micromanagement on some teams from their direct leaders (i.e., tracking every hour worked during a sprint, getting admonished for not meeting 'quota' despite getting required work done and more).

Some managers on teams don't even know about what engineers on their team have actually accomplished or worked on.

Internal tooling tends to suck with very little support.
