Pros

Friendly group of people. Very family oriented. Your team is your second family. Rarely ever worked with a more committed group of folks who were also fun and had fun. You won't find a better work atmosphere than here. Also, casual dress. You can wear shorts and T-shirts during the summer.

Cons

The bigges downside of Rescap (now Ally) is the complete and utter uncertainty in their future. They don't know who is going to be leading them, who will be handing outsourcing where their IT will be, what groups will stay.. It's the only reason I left. I would have stayed if there'd been more certainty surrounding the future of the IT group in Lewisville.

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.
