Terrible pay for a senior position. Terrible temporary leadership caused a mass exodus
Terrible pay for a senior position. Terrible temporary leadership caused a mass exodus
When I started, things were well-formed, and we were able to have focused teams that could not be stopped. The people were great, and the culture was exciting.
All it took was for one founder to retire to go completely downhill.
The pay was never good; in fact, it was extremely subpar.
They call it Ally Financial, but you are really working for a 13-year-old startup that never made any money and was acquired by GMAC.
They hired someone as president who was only there for maybe a year. She disbanded all teams, created functional teams, ruined any synergy we had, and the culture disintegrated. She left the company, and so did most of the employees.
Fire yourselves

Ally Financial Interview Experiences
Software Engineer Intern
It was a very casual on-site interview (they don't usually do on-site, but I got it from a job fair). It felt more like getting to know your vibe than technical, though you don't want to lie on your resume.
SWE Intern
It was pretty chill. They asked very basic questions about my resume and what I was doing in my projects. That's about it. It lasted like 20-30 minutes. You can also have multiple interviews, so it's dependent on your manager (your interviewer).
Testing Analyst
The interview process took about three weeks. I applied for the role on September 12th and was invited for a self-paced, recorded video interview on September 13th. The following week, I was called for a second interview with the position's Hiring
