Pros

Good company, good ethics, good diversity, good people.

Cons

All smoke and mirrors, you might get on a good fun team and do well, many people do but comp is lackluster, management is mediocre it's not the most exciting company in finance and it's just not a good place to be as a senior technical staffer. Don't fall for the false positivity, unless you live in Detroit and have worked there most of your career you'll make more money, have more opportunity and be valued more elsewhere.

Pros

Strong technical stack and real ownership of enterprise reporting. Complex servicing and NPL data gives senior analysts room to build governance, dimensional models, and end-to-end pipelines with genuine business impact. Skilled peers and access to large regulated datasets (FNMA, FHLMC, HUD) that sharpen your craft.

Cons

Heavy reliance on undocumented legacy systems that fall on individual contributors to reverse engineer. Knowledge concentration creates single points of failure and inconsistent handoff when people leave. Org changes and shifting priorities can outpace documentation and process maturity.
