Pros

Salary is pretty decent and certainly very competitive compared to other companies in this area. 401k match (6% match + 2% company contribution = 8%). Other benefits like health and tuition and contribution towards 1st house purchase also pretty good. Excellent training options Work from home flexibility. Work not complex.

Cons

Legacy technologies and applications. Very bureaucratic style of functioning. Lots of people managers who are not technical but whose approval/rubber stamping is required to get anything done. So a lot of politics. People who work will be expected to do even more while the majority of the team just coasts along. Work sometimes can seem not challenging and opportunities for promotion are lacking especially for technical contributors

Pros

Good pay, benefits and flexible hours.

Cons

Horrible management, enormous politics, and no support from HR. If you want to work for an organization where employees gossip all day, there are always massive layoffs and management throws you under the bus and lies constantly this is the place for you. If you have morals, values and ethics, run!

Pros

Pay was good for the work performed. 401k match is awesome!!!!

Cons

If you file a formal complaint with Fannie Mae's Compliance and Ethics Department be prepared to be fired! The investigation will be more about your motive for filing the complaint rather than what you complained about. Do not let the policy and procedures fool you into thinking the company wants to act and/or behave ethically. Fannie Mae is an illusion. Word of advice, if you know you about to get fired "Revoke that Dispute Resolution Policy/Arbitration Agreement" in writing and keep a copy. Research the federal lawsuit filed b former employees filled in the state and federal courts along with complaints filed under the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.
