General Motors Reviews

Pros
Despite what are probably some negative public perceptions, my immediate management was always extremely competent. Management was very understanding of flexibility with time off. Given a great deal of responsibility and usually received useful feedback on job performance, including ways to improve.
Cons
Big company = big bureaucracy at times. Getting the smallest tasks done sometimes took too long - getting a new phone, new software, etc. Terrible career advancements opportunities given poor revenues and shrinking employee base. Some great people, but also some not so great to work with.
Advice to Senior Management
Find ways to retain top talent as best as possible, regardless of present financial state.
