Pros

Takes care of employees and offers very flexible work environment / schedule. There's also an opportunity to get $10K a year in education reimbursement (for a degree, not a certificate program). Good pay and job security.

Cons

There's no real growth trajectory. There are very few opportunities to experience challenging, meaningful work on a consistent basis. Also, most of your peers will have been at Fannie Mae around 7+ years and performance management is heavily weighted towards those with more tenure - not necessarily more demonstrated talent and skills. While "innovation" is encouraged there's very little new product development or autonomy to experiment with new ideas. Most people are happy with the status quo - but a talent refresh is certainly needed.

Pros

Great team and luckily for me great leadership in my direct line up to my SVP.

Cons

It’s horrifying how things have changed since Pulte took over. Layoffs, elimination of entire job categories but not the responsibilities of those jobs. It’s not just you work more because a teammate is gone, it’s do a completely different job while still doing you job plus all of your layed off coworkers job.
