Pros

The benefits they offer are good.

Cons

I was in charge with DEI in my division among my many other responsibilities here with the many years I worked here. I was told 1 week before I was let go that someone who is WHITE "me" shouldn't be leading diversity and it should be someone of color. 1 week later I was told I was being let go without a reason and my work was being given to other people. Then after I left someone of diversity was in my old position with no experience. Ally tried to get me to sign a mountain of paperwork and a very lucrative severance agreement to get me to shut up and not sue them. I declined the severance agreement as I saved everything and communication from my time there. Now working with my attorneys and EEOC on the best course of action going forward.

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.
