Pros

The benefits were top notch. The company is located in Upper Northwest and as such there is free parking.

Cons

Most of the managers had little training on being a manager. During restatement it was a complete zoo. In many of the groups the consultants were running the show. They were being paid 50, 100, 300 dollars an hour. Most of the consultants had to be trained by Fannie employees making considerably less. They charged Fannie Mae to learn new systems and skills that they took to there next assigments. Many of them were totally unethical, charging the company to learn things that they should be learning on their own dime.

Pros

The culture is more supportive than competitive/toxic; quite decent work-life balance; good benefits - especially 401k; heavy emphasis on utilization of AI to support most job functions but with risk and safety in mind.

Cons

Changes are quite fast-paced and growth can be slow. Experience can be very team, project, and division specific as with any big company.
