Pros

- engaged and happy coworkers - competitive compensation - generous PTO - solid healthcare - work is generally interesting - I feel like we're actually helping people & we care about clients (people who want to buy homes)

Cons

- 401k matching sucks - lots of legacy code and tech debt you have to work around - a lot more maintenance than building new things - you will have to deal with a ton of rules, regulations, and business knowledge about mortgages

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.
