Based on your feedback we missed the mark, if you are willing, please reach out directly to us at employeerelations@pennymac.com so that we can better understand your specific situation and incorporate our feedback into our improvement strategy.

      Pros

      Good team and good cafeteria

      Cons

      -micromanagement heaven -you want a promotion? Too bad a DEI hire from outside the company is going to take it instead -they love pulling the rug from under you with a new comp plan “to match industry standards”. -they treat their processors like they’re kids in a sweat shop so the processors have no incentive to care about your file (they give them peanuts as a quarterly bonus) -they have RCT spies to watch everything you do and snitch to your manager/ set your lunches / decide if your time is approved -they act like it’s the best place to work but it’s absolutely not
