Pros

It's a paycheck and health benefits.

Cons

1) For an online financial company/bank with no actual physical banking locations it seems ludicrous to require employees to work in office. CEO and executives making these choices are out of touch. 2) The "Do it right" motto implies doing the right thing and being honest but in my opinion there's questionable behavior from recruiters and hiring managers. Get everything in writing in advance. Leave nothing open-ended.

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.
