Senior Management Doesn't Walk the Talk

Director
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Most individual contributors are smart people who care about their jobs and the mission of the company.

Cons

Senior management said it values new ideas, but the truth was very different. Those who got good reviews and promotions are usually the people who had best learned to imitate their bosses. Individual thinkers were most often punished for not conforming to the party line. Fear and bullying were used to keep employees in check, rather than collaborative management styles.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, flexible schedule, diverse workforce. Work week is less than 40 hours, tuition reimbursement. Paid Time off for volunteerism. 3 weeks vacation. 401k matching.

Cons

No growth opportunity. No focus on leadership development. If you don't come in as a manger, it's hard to move up to become one.

Very Rewarding Experience

Internal auditor

Business Outlook

Pros

The position at Fannie Mae might be somewhat intimidating with all of the news out right now. But, I've found it to be rewarding because you are helping homeowners everyday. Managers and above are very invested in your career because they are focused on reducing turnover and building talent from within.

Cons

The media is obviously a downfall. A lot of people ask some pretty tough questions when they hear that you work at Fannie Mae. But, the upside of that is if you work in Internal Audit, your response is that you are helping make it a better place
