Fannie Mae reviews

Poor communication, hard to keep up with constant change, several groups/people duplicating effort or going a different direction, shoot-from-the-hip "strategic" planning, work efforts seem impulsive without attention to long term goals, worthless/repetitive meetings without agendas/action items, lots of meetings but nothing is actually accomplished, group think and acquiring consensus/approval is extreme, mindless projects = "progress," project efforts are critical one week then non-existent the next, smart managers but who are very quickly seduced by the corporate kool-aid, no one seems to really know where we are going or how we are going to get there, gossip, passive aggressive co-workers who are easily threatened, aversion to new ideas with certain processes ("this is how we do it here"), intense dislike for contractors, constant flux of insourcing then outsourcing and vice versa, too much broad/vague corporate motivational/principles crap. FNMA tries waaaay too hard to label itself a world class company when it is really a chaotic mess with an average workforce at best.

Managment is not very involved, there is an incredible amount of work to be done with considerable resource constraints and too many varied tasks with too much key person dependency
