Not an Information Technology company. Business comes first, IT is a second thought. Too much office politics as well. - Senior Java Developer Freddie Mac Employee Review

Pros

The Salary is an ok

Cons

One of the worst experience I have had in my long IT career as Lead Java Engineer. Too much politics, lagging behind in Information Technology. Managers do not understand Technology very bureaucratic... My advise to anyone looking for a good IT job, stay away...

Pros

Good culture Easy to coffee chat people Easy to get involved in projects - just ask. Talk to HR to get good advice on getting ahead. Feel free to be open with your manager if you want to try another internship next summer - internal hiring process happens before apps open to the public so get on that if you find a business division interesting or appealing.

Cons

Lots of reorgs happened within company and some teams are stretched at least temporarily. Also not every team that welcomed interns is actually hiring for next year or even for forseeable future, so if you're comfortable and want a return offer, make sure to ask if that isn't made perfectly clear to you.
