Fannie Mae - Who knows ?

It manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The compensation is good and there is a attempt to meet work / life balance needs though that is beginning to erode substantially.

Cons

The uncertainty regarding Fannie Mae's future is huge. Will it be privatized, liquidated, made into a governmental agency , etc. ? No one knows the answer to this question. There is also cost cutting going on again which means that the job security is not great. In addition, high performers are generally not rewarded that much better than the average employee is. Finally, there are way too many managers for the number of employees at the company which results in too many turf wars and too much infighting.
