General Motors (GM) reviews about "leadership"

- Volatile senior leadership/execs (layoff hungry) - Limited coding assignments for juniors - Frequent platform and tooling migrations, not enough building & coding

Recent changes in the Senior Leadership in IT have destroyed the once-great culture, and replaced it with a culture of fear and insecurity, where nobody is sure they will have a job tomorrow.

Senior leadership has got to wake up. Horrible leadership. Flavor of the week initiatives and monumental amounts of red tape and useless non value added processes. Forced ranking is toxic and demoralizeds the company.

For the past three years, GM has continued conducting rolling layoffs multiple times per year, not including the annual “performance calibrations” tied to stack ranking. The layoffs are often handled in an extremely impersonal way — typically through an email or a scripted five-minute call. Employee morale has dropped significantly, and the environment has become increasingly toxic due to the constant fear of layoffs and the pressure of having to survive the “Hunger Games” each year. This year, leadership promoted the Workplace of Choice survey and emphasized positive outcomes, only to follow it with another large round of layoffs that, in some cases, eliminated entire teams. I would not work here and if you do, do not trust anyone. Especially the SLT.

unclear vision from leadership, constant layoffs recently

very low comp and bad leaders
