Ally Financial Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I’ve worked for Ally for over 5 years. Originally, it was a smaller company, before Ally purchased us. We were a slim, fast and agile shop. We got things done and the environment was great. Ally purchased us over three years ago and still to this date have been installing their mindset. While the culture is great, the people are great, the process oriented nature across all the separated teams (for roles and responsibilities) have created an environment that is very slow to get things done. I still work on a team that delivers incrementally fast but the overall cross dependencies hamper the overall goals."

"All is a great place to work. Great culture, Great support."

"It is a great company to work for."

"I worked for this company for many years and would highly recommend working for them, They care about the individual as well as the organization. This is a global financial services company and you will have opportunities to work with exciting technologies and people."

"Good company with a forward thinking philosophy. They are a bank that has tried to do things differently. Since they are an on-line bank they have to be quick, responsive, and proactive. This means they are innovative and always looking for new technologies to take them to the next level."

"I have worked for Ally since the days before the crisis, when it was GMAC. We now have a great brand, and product offerings are second to none. Issue is that we are much smaller (fewer opportunities) and Charlotte seems to be the future (great if you are in Charlotte). What happens after Carpenter retires?"

"I have worked with this company since 1996. Auto finance company with an on-line bank. Company has changed CEO three times in 8 years. Charlotte and New York and the locations to work at if you are managing a career. Detroit team is associated with Auto Finance and only has a future as long as rates are competitive."

"Good employer - company closed most Wisconsin locations due to economy."

"No career growth"

What don't you like about working at Ally Financial?

"No career advancement opportunities (unless you are in a rotational program)"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"This might be a situation with only few groups in the company but senior management should analyze every group to see why employees at analyst or sr. analyst level never get promoted to a managerial position within the same group. Employees have to look for opportunities with other groups in order to get any kind of advancement in career."

"Excellent company when it was around."
