Pros

Moderate pay and benefits, good learning opportunities

Cons

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".

Pros

You get a bi-weekly paycheck.

Cons

The culture has tanked under new leadership over the last couple of years. It’s cutthroat, senior management keeps swapping out experienced leaders for their own people, same values, same bottom line only mindset. No one actually knows what they’re doing because everyone’s expected to do everything and own the fallout when it doesn’t work. Decisions get micromanaged or made behind closed doors about your own team, with no input. There’s constant pressure to cut expenses, and the target seems to double every month, at this rate it feels like the end is inevitable. Layoffs happen a few times a year now, two years running, and leadership straight up tells you it’s the new norm, so get used to it. Everyone knows it, everyone talks about it, and everyone’s living in fear. On top of that, you’re expected to work 12 hour days and answer emails on weekends, then get told you’re still not doing enough. It’s demoralizing. This is an awful place to work, and with the job market this bad, people can’t leave even though everyone’s looking. Feels like a sinking ship, and they deserve it for how they treat people.
