Pros

It is pretty easy to get your foot in the front door here, especially if you know someone.

I was given the interview script ahead of time as they were really interested in hiring me.

Cons

There were a few people in Austin and Dublin I interviewed that were very underqualified, but I was told that they would be working at GM. So, the easy interview process can work both ways.

The biggest downfall to GM is that layoffs seem to be driven by who each director personally dislikes.

Advice to Management

Stop sending the message that if employees want to keep their jobs, they need to lick their boss's boots.
