Pros

Decent benefits, good location, good peers

Cons

Distrust among employees on the outsourcing changes going on in the IT domain. Business is not technical savvy and does not understand the impact of these changes. Heavy emphasis on process that slows down time to market and removes individual creativity and motivation to deliver.

Pros

Fannie Mae's mission, work life balance, compensation and benefits are excellent. Some really good people to work with and interesting work to be done.

Cons

Conservatorship has hampered progress. Business and leadership challenges are seeing good, experienced people leave. Morale is declining and the unknown has caused the company to lose focus.
