Pros

None that make the control and lack of trust worth it.

Cons

This is the most controlling company I have ever worked for. I have whiplash from all the cryptic and backhanded corporate communications. Executive leadership is not truthful or transparent. I was told today that we are doing a full 5 day a week return to office with no flexibility for remote work starting in August. Ally keeps saying they are committed to hybrid and flexibility but it was all a lie. They do not trust their employees at all. They are more focused on control than retaining top talent. All executive leadership should be replaced with more innovative thinkers in touch with the current employment market and modern employee needs. Lets get these relics out of authority and bring some bright new minds in.

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.
