Pros

Good culture, regular events, travel opportunities if in the right role, decent time off, good healthcare package.

Cons

GMF's IT Dept has been taking a downward trend over the last couple years - people are moving into management and VP roles without any experience and all promotions appear to be based on a who you know basis. Cybersecurity dept is probably more AVP's than actual team members. Severely underpaid for years of experience, which I can only assume is because of the office location in DFW.

Pros

I'm a senior-level software engineer, previously worked at tech companies, and this job is relatively easy for me. No on-call, work-life balance is good. I usually get everything done within 2-week sprints.

Cons

GMF is the true definition of work hard, not smart. There are so many dumb engineers. There was a time I had to work with non-technical teams like prod support, and it was quite frustrating. They wanted my team to build an automation so they didn't have to work manually as if anything is possible and there is no limitation within the company. I didn't even create a backlog item as it was a waste of time.
