Pros

Good entry level job but only good for grads and interns. Move on to a better company.

Cons

It is not fun wasting so much personal time commuting to the office. The environment is very clique and forced. The CEO is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Inexperienced directors. Horrible office layout, who thought it would be a good idea to pack us all on top of each other? Pay is not competitive. They do not care about us or listen to us. No clear direction within departments. The only thing they care about is stuffing us into the office like a cog in their machine.

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.
