What's the Company Culture Like at General Motors?

General Motors Employee Perspectives

The flexibility that GM has given me over the last several years has been very important to me, being an active athlete and also being active in my  community. GM has also allowed me to enjoy a fulfilling career doing a lot of different things that I never thought I would do because my background is electrical engineering.

Our leadership team and peers welcome us as a person instead of seeing us and thinking, ‘She’s gone for military duty, she’s gone for maternity leave or paternity leave.' I’ve been respected as a person instead of labeling me in all those multiple categories. GM does well at helping provide extra support to individuals when we have multiple hats we put on.

I’ve been at GM for nearly 18 years, and what keeps me here are the people and the culture. I’m constantly learning and finding new opportunities to contribute to important projects with talented colleagues. People have a one-team attitude toward problem-solving and are passionate about the products we build.

GM has a people-first culture that inspires everyone to help each other and improve themselves. It fosters a workplace of inclusivity instead of focusing solely on company results. I really feel like I am seen as an individual and that my work has an impact at GM.
