Pros

Can't think of any that make it worth it.

Cons

They shove fake culture down your throat while being stuffy and completely inflexible to change and adaptation. They want you to give 200% but refuse to compromise or offer the employee the benefits they truly need. You are expected to work long hours, do the work of 2 people, work on endless projects etc... all for low pay and being forced into office. On top of having all this work, you have to spend hours a day dressing like a corporate zombie and commuting into office. Ally does not respect or trust us at all. They do not care about your health. They do not care about you. They do not care about your work life balance. No benefit to being in office but we are going back in office 5 days a week soon. They see the extremely high turnover of top talent due to this and they still double down, lie to us, and pretend everything is alright and everyone is happy. We need a new CEO and president who listens to the workers and cares about us instead of catering to the stockholders. This company is not for the employees at all. Typical greedy corporate environment.

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.
