Pros

Good PTO, 401K match, and good people within many of the business units.

Cons

"Doing it Right" and "We are all in this together" are slogans meant to make you feel better, but the truth is, no one at the top actually cares about you. What do they care about, you ask? Power. They care about you falling in line and doing what you are told. "Safety protocols" like masks, don't apply to everyone. This is why executives, including the CEO broke the rules while the commoners wore masks at their desks when the mandates were in place in Charlotte. They care about money. Kickbacks from local, state, and federal governments to implement certain protocols. The return-to-office is much more about real-estate not sitting empty than it is about "safety". Wait until the "hybrid" model goes away.

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.
