Pros

New management team has righted the ship. It had been on the precipice of failure, and did not have the infrastructure to systematically manage risks in its core businesses.

Cons

It survived a tremendous amount of stress in the financial markets, ultimately becoming government owned. A change in government ownership or some other long term solution (acquisition or IPO) might provide a sounder footing / more clear strategy.

Pros

GMAC used to be very entrepreneurial with a sense of family and common goal. We felt respect and valued. Not sure how it is now, but for me the biggest pro, was the people I worked with. My manager at the time was very people-oriented which provided incentive to work harder, take calculated risks, and hold myself to a higher standard.

Cons

BUREAUCRACY!! Upper management got in the way, constantly second guessed everything then felt the need to fix the resulting malaise and decline in morale with programs and initiatives that further eroded the time we had to perform our core functions. It was a downward spiral of confusion, angst, and the feeling that we were not valued by the organization. A significant amount of good talent left the organization during those times.

Pros

Exciting place to be - lot of change.

Cons

Limited opportunities for internal mobility and development. Infrastructure not as strong as it should and simple tasks become difficult and time consuming.
