Pros

- Ample resources to learn more about the industry. - Opportuinity for enrichment training for your current position. - Opportunity to work at the pulse of the industry, gaining knowledge and expertise that no one else will have. - Ample opportunity for lateral job changes to increase your skill set.

Cons

- Highly political. It's all about who you know. - Decisions about people are based on perception and not fact. If someone is very vocal in a meeting and "appears" to be knowledgeable, they seem to get all of the recognition. However, the folks that talk less and work more are not respected as having knowledge of their jobs. - Too many meetings and not enough action.

The organization is in a instant state of downsizing and reconfiguring, sometimes seemingly without purpose People are concerned about the future state of the organization and in particular their own positions Confidence in the CEO could be higher

Pros

Stable- maybe? I would rather state that Fannie Mae is a more stable place to work than a year ago. There is an increase in transparency in the way that management communicates and depending on where you go and who you talk to people are beginning to exhale. Remember change is inevitable no matter where you work and as long as you are OK with that fact, then Fannie Mae is a good place to work.

Cons

Healthcare benefits, lack of cost benefit analysis on some decisions, impulsive decision making, pendulum-swinging regulation mentality
