Pros

Fannie Mae provides the perfect balance between work and personal life. The number of hours are not long usually (unless you were on the restatement team for a while) and most people are out of office by 5. Fannie Mae's compensation and benefits are also one of the best in the industry (even though no one is sure what will happen since we went into conservatorship). Benefits are excellent including a great 401k match of 6% and an additional 2% on top.

Cons

Job routine could be mundane and boring at times.

Pros

The benefits and the compensation..Paternity leave and family sick time off.The shuttle between the different offices if you need to get from one place to the next..Six flags company outing for a day. Healthy living day off.

Cons

unrealistic deadlines..Too much pressure and a lot of politics..Management not that supportive to employees..Might be more in some teams than in others.Career advancement is not that easy.

Pros

Before the recent nationwide meltdown in the financial industry, the company was stable, predictable and generous with salaries. Even now, while it may be risky to be in upper management, directors and lower levels are still secure & safe jobs.

Cons

Despite several years of attempted culture change, middle management is still obsessed with empire building rather than the well-being of their employees or the company. Change is resisted. Skills sharing between teams is actively discouraged even while lip service is paid to its importance. Technical skillsets are restricted to silos: network people will never be allowed to touch an operating system, UNIX people can't look at SAN systems, SAN people can't touch monitoring systems, etc..
