Pros

The job is steady (somewhat -- see 'cons'), pay and benefits are decent. Depennding on the supervisor you have, work life can be pleasant or miserable.

Cons

The business has been changing so much over the past 5 - 10 years that you're always wondering when (not IF) your job or office will be outsourced or eliminated. Employees and tasks are constantly being shuffled to increase the bottom line. It is a business and that may be what needs to be done to stay afloat; however, it seems as though employees are treated merely as a number or a statistic.

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.
