Pros

Filled with many smart, hard-working and friendly employees who truly want the company to thrive. Challenging times bring interesting work. Some of (the old) managment still in place know how to run the ship and keep their eye on what's important and willing to stand up for what's right.

Cons

Continuous senior management shifts and business focus on what "the boss" wants to do rather than what's right for the long-term growth opportunities of the company. It's a who-you-know rather than what-you-know environment at the moment. Culture has shifted and employees need to shift with the new Chaos environment or leave.

Pros

Great culture, good compensation and benefits. Excellent management team, very supportive and interactive with the team.

Cons

Onboarding was a challenge due to IT’s lack of clear direction. The loan origination system crashes a lot.

Pros

Hybrid schedule is reasonable, with only three days a week required in office. Benefits are decent and we have a fairly new office building is a nice.

Cons

Don’t be fooled by Glassdoor’s rating. It likely reflects the old Ally, not the company it is today. Ally used to be a great place to work, with strong culture, meaningful work, and real innovation. They used to pride themselves on culture, and now it’s the worst I’ve seen it. There have been significant leadership changes, with many of the leaders who made Ally great shown the door. Round after round of layoffs has everyone whispering about who’s next, and the people who remain here are stuck cycling through failed re-orgs meant to “fix” the department. It’s gotten bad enough that I know people actively hoping to get cut just to walk away with severance. If it doesn’t get better soon, I might be hoping to be let go myself. I can’t recommend it the way I once would have.
