Pros

Work is enjoyable, unless you've been put on a project for multiple years. You don't get to pick your teams or projects. Good for building experience if you're a newer engineer. Work life balance is the great. Summer Fridays where you can clock out at 2pm.

Cons

Don't believe some of the fake 5 star reviews written by HR on here. Low pay. They'll try to buy you with company events, office happy hours, but won't provide market pay and raises for the role. Fake culture. The culture will try to pretend like it is not corporate like other companies, but it is. HR won't care about your problems, and will be more concerned about how it can advance GM's agenda. Remember that they are never on your side no matter how much of your ally they try to sound. Hybrid. You are required to come into the office 2 days a week. No exceptions. They have fired people for even just complaining about this.

Thanks for taking the time to write this review and giving us feedback we can work from. We are sorry to hear that your experience at GM didn’t meet expectations, as we care deeply about fostering an empathetic culture where everyone feels valued. If we came up short here, that’s on us, and something we’ll continue to work toward doing better. It’s important to us for all employees to have their opinions heard and their individual circumstances taken into account. Hybrid work policies have been difficult to create and implement across the world post-pandemic. We understand your frustration around the change but do want to clarify that our hybrid work policy provides far more flexibility and accommodation than your review suggests, and disagree with the assertion that complaining about GM’s hybrid work policy provides grounds for termination.
