Pros

This is a soul sucking corporate job working for a sneaky, discriminating and unethical corporation.

Cons

Do not believe Ally's lies about being a diverse, inclusive, and employee focused company. Just read all these reviews to see the real picture. Only senior leaders praise Ally and that is because they are forced to. Ally has a long history of racial discrimination in their auto loan practices. They are also repeatedly sued for not properly notifying before repossessing and refusing bank services for DACA recipients. Their biggest shareholders and board should give you an insight into what a terrible company they are and how poorly they treat their employees. Vanguard 10% - History of cheating on taxes. The Vanguard Group is the largest shareholder in right-wing media conglomerate FOX News Corp. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC 5% - Fined for price fixing, endless lawsuits for racial and gender discriminations, predatory lending, and insider trading. Blackrock 5% - The largest financer of climate destroying industries, involved in advising governments, a sign of the excessive, unbalanced corporate power. Ally is no more trustworthy in their employment practices. They regularly discriminate against disabled people and military spouses. They do not want to be inclusive to all, they only want cookie cutter employees who are easy to control. Do not work here if you have a mind of your own. 7 of the 12 board of directors are old white men, with only 4 women, 1 person of color, and only one person under the age of 50. This overly controlling board does not come from a position of diversity and understanding, don't be fooled. Ally is not a productive environment for young workers and are in no way innovative.

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.
