"Must go in to office three days per week if you’re within 50 miles. Leaders can mandate the days. Now corporate is issuing Tues-Thur mandate. Flexibility is being taken away and remote and hybrid work is becoming a thing of the past."

"It's a very good company for those just starting out in their careers since they tend to hire a lot of college hires and cater to their training and development. Depending on what org you get into, and your manager, your experience can vary widely. They do have a very generous parental/family leave policy, just implemented in the past few years. They also have a very generous tuition reimbursement program that I regret not taking advantage of. Once you are established, there are opportunities to apply for international assignments. On the downside, I had never worked in automotive before and they tend to have layoffs pretty often even in good times. I would say GM is a better option for business backgrounds than software developers since their IT strategy seems to be in flux at the time of this review."

"Get active in the GM Women ERG. Network and meet as many people as possible. Do your core job VERY well, but look and ask for "stretch" projects. Observe what people who get promotions do, and you'll see what is valued in your department. If you are having difficulties with your manager, look for another department to work in. The quality of management varies significantly from department to department."

"Culture can vary by team and manager. Unfortunately, my experience was soured by seeing a manager praise, and reward men working on a project, but none of the women working on the same project and contributing equally. "

"Don't bother. You will be treated differently, and with a regard that you are worth less to the company. If you don't have children, you will be held to different standards to the women who do.
Management have no integrity around their mistakes, and at the same time their mistakes are brushed under the table. If you make a mistake, you will be treated as if you ruined the future of the company."

"I've spoken up about needing accommodations for a disability and was told to "think about the needs of my team first". I was also hired into my current role under a position that was not what it turned out to be, and have been told the equivalent of "oh well" when I expressed my concerns."
