Pros

The numerous changes that have happened in the last 2 years make it difficult to provide feedback on current environment. If you are willing to take a risk, it can be a positive experience. Do your homework, ask questions, and be prepared for daily changes. Those who can disengage from their work role will most likely be fine. During my tenure the perks and the people made the long hours equitable. The current leadership has changed so often I can not speak to how that impacts those working at GMAC today. Most of my contacts have been laid off or left for new roles in other organizations.

Cons

Any job has a down side. The collaborative mindset of the past has been replaced by fear and distrust. The people focused culture made the above target performance expectations tolerable. Over the last 24 moths, benefits continued to be reduced as did the “balance life focus” of the past. I was grateful for the opportunities but was not willing to be just a number

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.
