Pros

Flexibility from a work life balance perspective Global opportunities Opportunity to "own" projects, programs, processes Great discounts on GM vehicles and related services Opportunity to represent a company that everyone in the world has heard of Seeing our vehicles on the road and knowing that I played a part in the execution of a high-quality, great-looking product.

Cons

Scaling back operations in the US, which means fewer opportunities for advancement. Doing more with less means that those remaining sometimes take on an unmanageable amount of work Lack of control or minimal influence over the public's perception of our technology, quality, business model, prodcut portfolio, etc.

Pros

Benefits are decent……. IF you survive

Cons

Can name a few… 1. Poor leadership who hire their buddies and promote them into management level without any sense of technical or automotive knowledge 2. Lack of promotions or opportunities to move internally. If you are starting your career or mid way wanting growth. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE! YOU ARE A NUMBER! (Example, ask all the QA folks who got sacked while their managers got moved around into different roles and engineering manager roles? Not sure how that works but ok 3. Let’s talk about the business now. Leadership doesn’t care if you know or understand the business. This automotive industry is dying. They try to copy Tesla and Mary and leadership can not get the world Tesla out of their mouth. Let’s focus more on autonomy please and not trying to be like someone else…. 4. Stacking raking kills. I understand GM is a business and not a scalable one but that’s not because of the business… it’s because of the people leadership keeps deciding to keep and fire. Ffs get rid of Lowell Kercheville and Stacy Lynett. Both have done no good for either company and neither has their leaders under them. Mhmmm coincidence?
