Ally Financial Inc

Human Resources Intern

May 2021 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

I loved the project I was put on and the opportunities to get to know the other interns! Ally did a great job of keeping the interns in a close network to we can share experiences and ask questions or concerns if needed. The internship managers made sure every intern was given all materials and support they needed to succeed.

What I wish was different

I wish it had been in person but there was little to no control with that. They did a great job of ensuring the remote option was still effective and enjoyable for all. We had many lunch and learns that mimicked the feeling of being with everyone in the office.

Advice

I would recommend that you put meetings on anyones calendars and really grow your network. There is so much opportunity to experience the other areas in Ally if you put in the work to do so.
