Pros

Casual dress policy and occasional free food. Reasonable office space and covered parking. Good people at the working level even though they are not paid enough.

Cons

PenFed has the worst executive management team imaginable. Incompetence abounds and is apparently rewarded. The CEO and executive team constantly say one thing and do the opposite. They promise not to fire people, but constantly do so. In other words, they lie and are not to be trusted. Lots of happy talk, but these are bad people. I am looking to leave PenFed at the earliest opportunity. I hate it here. Stay away from this company. Do yourself a favor.

Pros

Awesome place and people - complex and large finance operation and balance sheet yet still small enough to make an impact and build up solutions from the ground floor - creative place!

Cons

Sometimes can be stretched for more resources

Pros

Great staff and middle management. Good benefits and facilities.

Cons

Upper Management - same tune as all the other reviews. This place is full of great people who don't know they are great. It's also full of bad leaders who think they are great. Unfortunately, the best performers are often rewarded with carrying the burden of underperformers and non-contributing leaders. In certain teams there is very limited in upward mobility. They are slow to weed out low performers and ineffective managers. All in, strong performers and high achievers might find this place frustrating. This is a place for those who like to coast through.
