I freelance now, but I have worked for GM Planworks and was on the HP account servicing GM. I finished the design and implementation for their global laptop image this year (unfortunately, the idiot after me screwed it up again after I quit). I have dealt with GM management for years and I know the mentality there, all too well.

That doesn't mean the culture can't change. I was very successful in my dealings with them because I was willing to take responsibility for the project and I treated everyone with respect. In fact, I handled one of the few successful projects HP and EDS were involved with. There is massive potential at GM, some of the best minds in the industry work there, but all that talent and ability needs to be harnessed and then given enough free reign to take GM into the future.
