General Motors Employee Reviews for Quality Engineer

"I have worked for GM for over 30 years. They have been a very good employer to work for. The company has had its ups and downs over the years but I would definitely recommend GM as an ideal place to work."

"Find another place to work for."

What do you like about working at General Motors?

"It was a great place to work when the pressure of losing your job didn't affect your job. For about 1 1/2 years that played a great deal on everyone's minds at General Motors. Now that I was let go because of downsizing, I feel much better. But for the ones still there at GM, I feel for them, because they are still on an emotional roller coaster ride until Oct 2009, when GM is going to let another 6,100 more white collars go."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Find another job."

What don't you like about working at General Motors?

"It keeps the yes people there and lets the people who want to do the best job they can do for the company go. I saved GM money every time I looked at a new design for their tooling. Designs were incomplete, could not machine them without added expense, or late changes caused other issues, but GM still decided I was not needed, and they didn't put someone in place to fix that issue. They should have gotten rid of the ones who were not doing their jobs correctly. GM was always good to keep around everything that cost them money."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Just move out of the USA and go to your new big brother--CHINA."
