Work is picking up, but compensation and benefits are not
Work is picking up, but compensation and benefits are not
I admire and take pride in the work I do for GM, working on software for EVs. The company values those who work hard and make the effort to champion projects. Most teams are comfortable training new employees who are unfamiliar with the nature of the work, instead of expecting new hires to know everything from the start.
The Software and Services organization has been emphasizing a performance-oriented mindset, but the compensation and benefits are barely increasing with it.
If they demand higher performance, they need to offer significantly higher salary and/or privileges (such as remote work) for attracting talented SWEs. Otherwise, many talented employees might find better options in the job market.

It was really nice. The manager talked about the department and showed me around after the interview. They were very willing to give more explanation, which really helped me to understand the questions better.

In-person LeetCode questions about basic arrays, data structures, and algorithms. Not really very hard, but requires attention and preparation. It's doable. Also, some system design on a whiteboard, etc. Usual stuff.

There were five Hirevue questions that asked about personal and professional situations, like problems encountered and how you overcame them. These were taken over video, along with a coding challenge.
