Instead all IT activities — such as Galileo, a proprietary cloud-computing platform; machine learning; data analytics; and, its electric-vehicle Maven Gig service — exist at all four innovation centers, said Randy Mott , senior vice president for global information. The IT team currently supports 2, applications. Among the technologies that Austin-based GM employees have worked on are apps for company brands such as Chevrolet and a project announced in April that allows Amazon Prime members to receive package deliveries to their vehicles.
Arizona, Georgia and Michigan host the other GM tech hubs, which like the one in Austin are all within a few hundred miles of multiple universities that graduate students with IT degrees. New hires may choose to work at any of the four tech-hub locations. Cultivation of a college-like atmosphere is intentional, said Sue Brann , IT executive director and chief administration officer.

The final move-in by General Motors into its building on McCallen Pass earlier this month marked the Austin culmination of that decision made by the company back in Mott said he and his colleagues strive for a healthy mix of recent grads and seasoned veterans — who share their expertise.
Ninety-nine percent of employee losses due to attrition are filled with recent grad hires, he said. You will be exposed to at least some amount of false promises and overly-political, agenda-driven eco-warrior propaganda every single day.
I had very high hopes for this internship after I accepted my offer in late , and when I initially arrived at GM I had a good impression of the company and was looking forward to doing something I enjoyed. Unfortunately, the experience I had almost completely destroyed that good impression. The first project that I was assigned got delayed by so much that I didn't even get to work on it by the time my internship ended.
Instead, all I was assigned to do were boring desk jobs that anybody with at least one brain cell and basic problem-solving skills could do. This continued on nearly nonstop for the first month, with projects coming and going but "delays" ended up killing them off. It was only after this point, where I got moved around to two suppliers one in Wixom and another one in Livonia that I finally was able to do some totally different work that I enjoyed.
Testing, verification, and a lot of other hands-on things. But even then, by the time the last month rolled around it started dying off. The same round of boring tasks came in and I began losing interest. And to this day I still don't. Don't try to bait people - more Pros Good pay, good work environment. Cons Massive tree-hugging bureaucracy, rampant "cancel culture" mentality, agenda-driven management.
However things move slowly within the organization, and the tech stack is somewhat antiquated. Pros Wlb, nice coworkers. Cons Slow paced, career growth is limited. No work life balance. Unhealthy working environment, messy coworkers and supervisors, harassment runs rampant, temps are treated less than human and the pay is mediocre at best. Well, unless you work more than the mandatory 9 hours of overtime already forced upon you.
Pros Union Job. Cons Everything Else. Management is under extreme pressure to get product out. Management changes the rules at the drop of a dime to do whatever it takes which means treating employee badly changing finish time whenever they want causing a problem for single moms or dads who have baby sitters. Demanding employees to do jobs they are not qualified to do. Can be dangerous. Pros Good pay.
Cons Forced overtime at the last minute. The company had specific goals and created specific paths to achieve those goals. Hard work was recognized and rewarded. Only downside of working there was the ups and downs of the auto industry.
Pros Working with advance systems and professionals. Cons Ups and downs of the auto industry. Decent pay with good benefits. Management values the importance of work-life balance. GM leadership is doing very well, but IT leadership could use some improvement.
Pros Number of holidays, Stable company. Deeply depressing this company operates considering the name. Louis, MO - October 8, Literally everything negative you can think of happening on a job can happen here, well plant level. The benefits are fully paid but considering my fitness tracker said I walked up and down the Eiffel Tower every day your body feels the back end of that so guess what you and your doctors will become best friends. Pros Pay benefits. Cons No time off, seasonal layoffs, poor management, zero accountability, poor structure.
Not a lot of job security. Great pay and benefits. A lot of time off. Just not when you request it most of the time. Work environment is what you make it.
