Pros

Good work-life balance, decent benefits, inclusive work environment. I would only recommend this company if there is a boom in the mortgage industry.

Cons

What was once a strong culture is now quickly eroding that it is a public company. There are no opportunities for career growth based on merit and accomplishments but instead based on favoritism and bootlicking ability. There is also little difference between what junior, mid-level, and senior developers do.

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.
