Pros

2 days WFH/week Casual work attire

Cons

Extreme micromanagement. Constantly watching your screen and watching your every move. Poor systems that cause issues and delays in productivity. Customers constantly have issues. Rude and unprofessional managers/directors Overworked and can't take long consecutive vacations. Not allowed to use phone at our desk. Your director gossips about ex employees and complain about people taking parental leaves. How people don't know the basics of computer functions and how glad they are when people quit before they get fired. Management forces people to quit with threats of termination to avoid firing and paying unemployment. Analysts take their anger out on you through phone calls and aggressive emails. They hire new analysts that have no experience with the company rather than promote people who've worked there for 5+ years. They quickly promote white young people especially if they have friendship/family connections with management. Hard work is expected but never rewarded. This company does not care about employees well being and will do what is necessary to save them money.

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.
