Pros

Good resume builder, skill building development, and diversity

Cons

Boomer mentality of C suite worship. Out of touch work environment where the older workers at the top really don't understand the current workforce and don't care to learn. Passive aggressive internal branding to employees. In office worship culture with a toxic "we are a family" vibe. Nah, you are not my family. I have a family at home I barely get to see anymore because I spend 20 hours a week on the daily grind commuting to the office. I would much rather have my personal time back to spend with my actual family and to build relationships with my actual friends. I do not need forced socialization at work. I sit alone at a desk all day on zoom calls with maybe 10 other people on my floor. Some of the people on my calls are in the office but on different floors so we may as well all be at home aside from the occasional on site meetings and events. Classic boomer mentality completely ignoring the fact that we have performed way better in the 2.5 years at home. Completely ignoring the high turnover and rock bottom employee morale. It is pretty cringe how they force us in the office for culture but that culture is only subordination, backstabbing to get ahead and look good for leadership, and petty politics. Nobody here is your friend. Get all the executives and executive directors out for some fresh, innovative young talent.

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.
