Ally Financial reviews

Ally is a dinosaur in terms of how they treat their employees with distrust and won't allow WFH. They keep saying they will still allow hybrid, their idea of hybrid is a joke. 1 day a week at home is definitely not hybrid when I work 10 hour days and don't get home from the office due to the commute and long hours until 1 hour before my kids bedtime. That is not work life balance. Senior leadership got stern in a meeting today that we need to embrace the change and deal with the new normal of coming back into the office. They said this while they were sitting in the comfort and safety of their nice, private executive office with a door. So out of touch when they don't have to deal with constant office interruptions, germs, and complete lack of space that we will have to deal with sitting in cramped cubicles and using a public restroom. They won't be as likely to catch covid from cramped common spaces as us "common folk".

• Dysfunctional - Teams are led by legacy BofA management and are not effective at leading. Senior leadership have had a long time to improve communication, team morale and process, but have moved the needle very little on improvements. Practically every department from Marketing, to Tech, to Home Loans and Auto do not know what the other is doing. Senior leadership have Senior Product Managers that have little to no product experience. Many Senior leaders take the "bullying" approach to management and seldom are called out for it. If they are called out nothing will be done. • Disorganized - They will change HR representatives faster than you can keep up. There is little to no on-boarding process, and managers are left to find out how things work rather than being walked through any process. You won't have a clear insight on who to contact or partner with right away, it's a bit of a wild goose chase. • Deceitful - From HR to Marketing to C-Suite level team members, you will receive one type pf communication, but trust me here, they don't say what they're really meaning. EXAMPLE: Senior management will provide you with the "we want you to take ownership, shake things up" speech, while really meaning "we just want you to keep the peace amongst our nightmarish mess." Several people who tried to "correct" or "improve" process or create meaningful change were let go. It's a pretty ruthless group.
