Avantages

- Great work environment with 'open office space' - Collaborative environment, everyone here is extremely friendly (except for infotainment, but that's just mini-China in it's own bubble) - Great work-life balance, you could probably play pool and Foosball all day if you wanted - Great place to spend the rest of your life if you have a family

Inconvénients

- Non-existential career development, lots of talk, but no action - Dated tech stack, expect to fight with GM's tools before getting any productivity out of them - Expect to be pidgeon-holed to a very specific role and excel in it. Very much 'Cog' in the machine feeling although it may not look like it - This "Red tape" you hear of is especially true here. Good luck pushing 1 line of code without scrutiny from... your boss, your bosses boss, possible affected bosses, and coworkers. - Agile is nonexistent here, though they like to dress it up like it is. It's waterfall design is starting to become dated and it shows in their software process - Managers managing other managers who manage their employees. Great autonomy though, but unnecessary middle management is a big thing here. - Prepare to play office politics if you want to make it here. - Lots of underutilized potential employees. I see so many brilliant minds squandered on battling politics and working on non-value added tasks here

Conseils à la direction

The process workflow needs to be updated. It shouldn't take 25+ engineers to do an hours worth of work.

Avantages

Coworkers are pretty awesome people Company brand name is pretty prestigious Lots of press about being a 'tech' company

Inconvénients

Inexperienced & untrained managers trying to manage things that they have no clue about Certain processes are massively changing - chaotic and in complete flux on a week by week basis for the last year and a bit, with no clear end in sight making delivery of projects very difficult and time consuming Respectful work policy -> Be careful what you say about China. Make someone uncomfortable about China,... prepare for your performance to be questioned, for normal job privileges to be revoked, and for life to become difficult Worry and anxiety drive decisions instead of data or information No tools or resources to verify design decisions Meetings, endless meetings: every single thing is answered by having more meetings with more people to have more discussions.

Conseils à la direction

... Stop just talking about how GM is a tech company, and then placing the whole burden, without any useful strategies or resources, on the individual employees to make up for the gap between where the company is and this imagined 'tech' company that management wants.
