Pros

Lots of benefits: 16 days off, plus starting with 15 days of vacation. You get 20 vacation days after year 2 (the year you turn 2). Amazing healthcare, a solid 401k with vesting, but a 3-year cliff. Amazing work-life balance. The culture is good day to day.

Cons

Leadership is bad and not stable. They laid off thousands of workers in 2023. The 401k has a 3-year cliff vest. It is not easy to move up. Work can be slow and meaningless sometimes.

Advice to Management

GM's problem is their management, all the way at the top.

They don't seem to have a good direction and are just shuffling chairs on the Titanic. They are getting government funding, then still laying off people.
