General Motors

Fun environment with a lot of other recent college grads.

Ping pong tables, onsite cafeteria, and some fun groups to be a part of.

It is not what I expected when I was recruited. The environment is very hierarchical, and lower-level employees are expected to nod their heads and do what they are told. Furthermore, the environment is not the same since many people were laid off here.

Make the organization flatter and more decentralized. Be honest with college recruits as to what they should expect, in that management is not open to new ideas and change in general. Expect a lot of good people to leave during and after each layoff, and a lot of not-so-great people will also be protected with layoffs.
