General Motors – “Enjoyed the work, not the management”

Pros

the diversity of career paths and people make GM a great place to explore different career tracks, all while building service with the same company. The level of competence of most professionals is very high. The course offerings for job training are amazing... truly best in class.

Cons

The overall management style is the archaic traditional top down, "do it my way" in key parts of the organization (like Purchasing - very "old school"). Other areas like Product Development are very progressive. When they laid off people in 2009, they didn't let enough of the managers go. GM is still very management heavy.

Advice to Senior Management
