Pros

Freddie Mac has been a great place to work over the years. They are committed to clear communication and making sure all employees feel welcome and have line of sight to the company direction.

Cons

However recently employees have been losing flexibility and benefits. Early Fridays, Spot awards, Wellness Works, etc. all have been lost and now the company is forcing employees back to the office. In fact the new policy is more restrictive than before the pandemic when employees had flexibility to set their WFH days on any day of the week. Now all employees must come in Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays. Because of soon to be crowded crowded offices (and long commutes) most employees are very unhappy with this change especially since things have been going extremely well for the past 2 1/2 years.

Starting in January, hybrid employees will work on-site Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and can work remotely Mondays and Fridays. Hybrid employees will also have the option to not work on-site four non-consecutive weeks per year.

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.
