The advertised culture does not reflect reality. Software tools are perpetually broken
The advertised culture does not reflect reality. Software tools are perpetually broken
Flexibility to move jobs, decent pay raises early in career. Constant search for new automotive technologies (awesome).
Culture - advertised, not actual.
SW engineers, surrounded by technology, do not have up-to-date, reliable tools.
SW in Agile - ill-defined Agile process not adhered to.
SW groups floundering.
Company uses reorganizations to solve process, tool, and culture issues.
GM predominantly hires any kind of engineer to do SW rather than hiring SW professionals.
Stop reorg'ing.
Work on maturing whatever process you land on.
Off-the-shelf software tools will not work without customization to align with how the company actually functions.
The company needs basic infrastructure technology.
Project management by Excel is a waste of engineering effort.
Many databases need linking, e.g., program timing to development to manufacturing, etc.
