Pros

Flexible timing, Benefits, standard vacation time

Cons

First of all they will convince you to death to join at a level down from your current position, that’s a trap and don’t fall for it. They feel they are superior and people have to give up their current titles and settle for less. They are not Silicon Valley company so don’t get fooled. Promotions are slow to a point to even become manager you’ll have to wait 4 years and forget about becoming director unless you’re closely attached to VP. Very narrow view to adopt best practices and making things complicated is their specialty, don’t forget to ask about there remediation follow up process. People normally suffer in silence and there is no clarity on how to get move to next level since Managers would never leave there will never be any positions open. I noted some inexperienced people get promoted for no apparent reason. Majority are lifers with no real experience of outside the company just living in their bubble.

Pros

Great benefits including working from home twice a week.

Cons

This has been the worst experience I've had with a company. The company has a culture were intimidation and bullying are used by a number of leaders to get there way. I have worked in two separate departments in the company and have encountered similar behavior. There was a time HR was involved in a harrassment claim but very little action was taken. I don't see Fannie Mae improving the culture until they hold management accountable.
