Pros

The pros do not outweigh the immense cons and are not worth mentioning. Everyone worth their salt is in the process of interviewing with better employers.

Cons

There is an atmosphere of extreme distrust and incompetence from the C Suite. We need innovating leaders who understand technology, culture, and fintech. All of our leaders are has beens from banks with even worse culture than Ally. The pay is low, the politics are terrible, the organization is non existent, employees are miserable and have no morale, we are beaten down at every turn and treated like children. Ally lies at every corner and tricks employees and the public. They tell us they are committed to hybrid work then are forcing us to 4 days in office next month and full time 5 days in office this quarter. That is not flexible and that is not work life balance. There is nothing here that is so great or innovative that makes it worth staying if we don't have any flexibility. There are a lot of other banks that pay better and have more remote options. Ally hides their discriminatory lending, data breaches, and discriminator hiring practices. They lie and trick people at every turn and hide behind a false narrative that they force down our throats.

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.
