Pros

No pros that balance out all the negatives

Cons

Low pay, yearly bonuses, job opportunities. Okay benefits. Heavily micromanaged. Surveillance at all times. Hi-def cameras in every corner of the office, keyloggers secretly installed on computers, monitoring of in-office attendance, open office floorplan where you get accosted for even using the restroom. No sick days. Leadership is not welcoming or helpful, they don't help you grow unless you are a personal friend. Senior leaders are completely out of touch. Morale has sunk so low that communication is impossible because everyone is miserable and overworked. Not worth it. US Bank is hiring for the same pay right now with 100% remote jobs and is a much more prestigious bank. They are everything Ally wishes they could be. Quite a few Ally Alumni have already gotten jobs there.

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.
