Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

The culture needs adjustments.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Intolerant of new ideas, rules for top executives different to everyone else.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

Full of bureaucracy and politics. Conflicting agendas.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

My experience is that your skill does not allow you, unless connected to move up in the company. During the first 3 of my 3 years there, a supervisor who was my colleague became my manager before he was put in another area to manage. His father was the assistant plant manager. I had learned the production areas and engineering so fast that I was made Process Control Manager. However, but because at the time my department was poorly performing, there were wholesale changes including removing me from my role to run production again after a year. I understand somewhat of business need but my professional development needs were not only being truncated, but dismissed because there was nothing afterwards to make me whole in anyway (and I asked for and higher title and raise because my job elements had increased to covering process engineers and other supervisors areas in their absence, although I had my own area to run.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

In the plant I was in, it was a male dominated environment where there was a history of discrimination and hostile work conditions. I did not experience overt discrimination but I did have to challenge my manager when I was given a "set" of grievances for fraudulent reasons and was harassed in the process. I answered in response to the facts and basically proved that the shop steward was misusing the grievance process and won.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

It was made very difficult to apply for other positions for growth.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

This culture is that of blame and dodge. Many of the contract engineers and vendors are given vague requirements and un-specified expectations.The General consensus is that General Motors has not fundamentally changed its culture even with the Bail put they are the same old ship going in the same direction.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

I used to think that GM was an asset to my resume. But not so much since the bail out. Too many recalls, lawsuits and deaths since I was layed-off.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

The senior management responsible for product portfolio needs to get changed immediately. GM India is not an ethical company. It's US parent is simply dumping money in India just on the behest of senior management.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

The work culture nurtures self-centered departments and their heads. Learning is simply void. Nobody aspires and work for creativity. Very short-sighted & unprofessional company.

Employee - Manager / Senior Manager

The company can do any type of changes in work area and profile one cannot think of. It only encourages socially active and known people to rise to the top. Very very non-transparent company.

Employee - Director

The organization suffered from a lack of good ethics which resulted in a lack of diversity at its highest levels and compromises in product safety such as the ignition switch failure debacle.

Employee - Director

The culture was extremely competitive (i.e. every person for themselves) at the top levels of the organization although they publicly tried to present an environment of collaboration. Women and minorities were often overlooked for positions of authority.

Employee - Director

The new company appears to be trying to remedy its past shortfalls. The number of women and minorities promoted to senior level positions in the company post-bankruptcy was a very good sign that things were changing within the company. Hopefully, it will continue to change for the better for its leaders and staffs.
