Good work/life balance

Pros

Fannie Mae manages to hire smart people and keep them around. I felt it was a great work environment and management respected my free time. When I left work, I was gone. I wasn't expected to log in at night or work ungodly hours. I worked hard while at work, but was able to let it go after I walked out the door.

Cons

Almost impossible to get rid of people who aren't pulling their weight or causing problems.

Pros

Have various of financial products in company's portfolio that you can learn a lot. Salary and benefits are satisfied.

Cons

Somehow bureaucracy. Have to sacrifice efficiency or profitability to meeting surveillance requirements. There is no clear career path in terms of getting promotion.

Pros

Great benefits and compensation. Work life balance is great. People are very smart.

Cons

Never a way to have a great company year under the shroud of conservatorship. Everything requires many kingdoms to cooperate and politics rule. The story about the work and what it means to your bosses promotion is more important than the work itself. There is a cultural war between people doing the work and people getting the praise for being in the meeting presenting it to management.
