I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at General Motors (GM) (Phoenix, AZ) in Mar 2013
Interview
GM uses the Lominger process for interviews. If you don't know what that is, then google it. Basically they ask questions about what you would do in certain situations. It was not a technical interview.
First step is someone will call for a phone interview. This is a HR person who is looking for keywords that match the job description. They don't have a technical background so if you use the correct buzz words you are good for the next step.
The second step is an onsite interview. This interview follows the Lominger process. They ask you questions like "give us an example of what you did when you disagreed with your boss?". My interview lasted for 4 hours.
After that you have to wait. GM requires that 3 interviews are performed for each position so it may take a while before you hear back.

I interviewed at General Motors (GM) (Markham, ON)
Interview
The interview process focused primarily on C++ and object-oriented programming concepts, including both theoretical questions and practical problem-solving tasks. I was asked to demonstrate my understanding of core OOP principles, memory management, and real-world application design. The interview also included a technical task that allowed me to showcase my coding and reasoning skills. The process was well-structured and engaging. I was interviewed by two senior developers, and both were very professional and pleasant to interact with.

Interview
One of the worst interview process I’ve ever seen. Total of 6 rounds with an additional 7. 1st phase - phone screening with HR (which I had to reschedule because the hr wasn’t responsible enough to call me on the agreed time). 2nd phase - screening with some GM employee (it already feels like an full tech interview, in most of the companies this would be already enough). Then you’re finally approved for the 4 hour interview. Congrats.
4 hours, 4 different interviews, 3 technicals and 1 behavior. It was supposed to be 2 behaviors but the technical guys only asked me tech questions.
Behavior interview is not a big deal. Tech rounds took 1 hour, 15+ questions per round. Just. Insane.
In one of the tech interviews, the person was asking things so so specific, that only GM uses, and asking as it was the most basic thing ever. I’ve 15+ years of experience in automotive industry, in multiple competitors of GM, and I can tell that GM has the craziest recruitment process I’ve ever seen in my life. Lack of awareness, poor communication and feedback. And the salary is just average, we’re not talking about FAANG salaries. Don’t waste your time.
