Pros

Moderate pay and benefits, good learning opportunities

Cons

Ally is a dinosaur in terms of how they treat their employees with distrust and won't allow WFH. They keep saying they will still allow hybrid, their idea of hybrid is a joke. 1 day a week at home is definitely not hybrid when I work 10 hour days and don't get home from the office due to the commute and long hours until 1 hour before my kids bedtime. That is not work life balance. Senior leadership got stern in a meeting today that we need to embrace the change and deal with the new normal of coming back into the office. They said this while they were sitting in the comfort and safety of their nice, private executive office with a door. So out of touch when they don't have to deal with constant office interruptions, germs, and complete lack of space that we will have to deal with sitting in cramped cubicles and using a public restroom. They won't be as likely to catch covid from cramped common spaces as us "common folk".

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.
