Pros

Great resume builder for young professionals. Diverse company that promotes from within and makes sure minorities are well represented in leadership positions.

Cons

Weird vibe and culture and sometimes I feel like stepford wives or a corporate drone. Senior leadership know we don't want to go back in office but they keep on sugar coating and glossing over our concerns. I am getting really tired of the toxic positivity surrounding it. They won't allow us actual flexibility and are not remote friendly in the least but they want to force us to smile about the return to office we don't want. They know we are concerned about burnout, commutes, health and safety in the office, and distractions. They then turn around and tell us we will get through it and then be grateful to get to see our coworkers in person everyday.

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.
