Pros

good pay, good benefits, somewhat flexible. Helping to bring the economy back on its feet. Verbal recognitions.

Cons

inefficiencies and bottlenecks everywhere. No ownership. Everything is directed by FHFA. Lots of changes in the company, not sure if it will be around for long. Highly political environment. No upward mobility. Promotions are not performance based. It's all about playing the game here.

Pros

Great company benefits such as 3% loan for house down payment, educational benefits up to 10K annually.

Cons

Corporate culture is lousy. Has a tendency to put the wrong people in the wrong positions. Chronic cronyism. No relationship between work performed and compensation. Warning, Fannie Mae has a problem of putting people managers over technical teams. I had a Manager who did not understand Information Technology and could not provide technical leadership to her team, but was performing performance evaluations. High Turnover in company. Professionals accustom to working in a high disciplined environment with high caliber professions might be discouraged. Company has a tendency to lay off people before they reach tenure but abrupt restructuring.
