Pros

Friendly managers. Talented and competent teams.

Cons

Pay is not competitive, fake culture, no work from home options. I am not sure why there are so many positive reviews in here saying Ally is flexible and offers work from home because that isn't correct. There may be some work from home options for a small percent of auto workers, but non at all in banking, especially for CC&E. I have a position where I work mostly alone all day. None of my team is at my site. I will still be in zoom meeting with people in other locations all day. 90% of my work is behind the scenes and done completely alone. They are still making me come back to a building and lose and personal time 5 days a week. There goes my balanced personal life and pretty much all of my job satisfaction. I have started looking at other jobs immediately. If you are interviewing with Ally, realize they are completely intolerant towards working from home AT ALL. Very outdated environment and expectations.

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.
