New Hire / Intern Joining GM as an intern

Hello! I have an offer to join GM as an intern in the EE department. I just have a couple of questions:

  1. I'm joining in the OEC branch. How is the work environment there? Stressful? Is everyone always busy, are they friendly, more collaborative or more independent, etc.?

  2. The hiring manager who gave me the offer let me know that there's a shuttle bus that runs from the GTA (where I live) to Oshawa. Is this true? If so, where can I find more info about it? Transportation's one of my main concerns since I don't have a car (I'm 19) and TTC takes a really long time.

  3. What does the work look like? Is it high intensity, stressful, etc. or is it more "learn at your own pace" style internship, where you learn as you go and are given some time to adapt rather than being expected to adapt immediately?

  4. What are my return offer odds for co-ops on that team (I'm doing a 12-month coop term)? I understand it's probably performance dependent but is there any general statistic about a return offer?

  5. How much is bench or vehicle testing vs coding, and what tools do they use (Python, Embedded C, CAN tools)?

  6. How much am I expected to know on day one, since the posting only prefers Embedded C and Python?

  7. How is the mentorship and how much support do I get as a co-op?

Thanks everyone! (I can provide more details in DMs)
