Vantaggi

* I worked with some genuinely great people who were very supportive as a team.

Svantaggi

* Poor leadership. There are a few decent managers, but the majority are overwhelming unsupportive and don't really "manage" much. In my experience, they would offer very little support and were very much "hands off" when it came to their jobs. * The company’s idea of "efficiency improvements" is laying off large groups of people without warning or explanation. You get an email or text one day telling you your job is gone. It’s a terrible way to treat people who’ve invested time and energy into the company. This constant threat of layoffs makes it hard to feel secure or motivated, and it creates a culture of fear. * Forced ranking is a nightmare. Management ranks a certain percentage of employees as “underperforming,” even when there’s no logical reason to do so. This practice just adds unnecessary stress and makes everyone more focused on competing against each other rather than working together. It’s a culture killer. * Heavy workload leading to burnout. I was expected to work late hours and would often have to work weekends to meet deadlines with no additional support from management. It’s not sustainable, and it’s frustrating to see how little the company cares about giving employees the resources they need to succeed.

Vantaggi

GM offers above-average benefits compared with many employers, including solid healthcare, retirement, and time-off options. Compensation is generally competitive and aligned with market value, especially for engineering and technical roles. The hybrid work schedule at the Tech Center is a positive, offering better flexibility than fully onsite roles while still allowing collaboration with teams in person.

Svantaggi

GM’s current performance management culture can be a major morale killer. The stacked ranking approach and forced distribution create an environment where employees may feel they are competing against peers instead of being evaluated purely on performance. There also appears to be a cap on how many employees within a group can receive higher performance ratings. A manager may tell you throughout the year that you are exceeding expectations, but the final review can still come back as “meets expectations” because of calibration, quotas, or internal politics. Like many large corporations, it can be easy to feel like a small cog in a very large machine. Decision-making is often driven heavily by cost reduction, investor expectations, and headcount efficiency, sometimes at the expense of morale and long-term employee engagement. The “Workplace of Choice” messaging can feel disconnected from the actual employee experience, especially when performance ranking, headcount reduction, and workload expectations do not align with that message.
