Pros

I like my team and the actual work I do.

Cons

Not remote friendly. Made to go to office for completely asynchronous work. Will ignore all feedback from employees about their needs. Gaslights you into pretending being in the office is working. Completely downplaying COVID concerns and gaslighting us about our health concerns. One week they send out communication acknowledging COVID cases are spreading in the office. The next week, they communicate they are even bringing back unvaccinated employees into the office. Some of my team members are allowed to stay remote. It does not create a cohesive team when some are allowed to stay remote while others are forced into office. It creates and environment of mistrust and resentment especially when the leaders of the team are remote.

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.
