/ 100
General Motors offers high-volume entry points through internships, co-ops, and structured rotational hiring, so graduates can find real first-role options without needing niche experience. The hiring journey is outlined more clearly than many industrial employers, but candidate experience still looks uneven in follow-up and pacing across teams. Pay transparency shows up in a lot of student job ads, while recent EV-related layoffs and plant pauses reduce the stability outlook for some early-career paths.
