Pros

I recently became an employee of Federal Home Loan Bank and I've enjoyed every moment thus far. From my very first day I was met with smiling faces and introduced to multiple team members who were more than accommodating. The culture here is AMAZING! While other companies treat diversity as a footnote, here at FHLBDM, you truly get the sense that everyone here believes in the value of diversity. The leadership here is incredible, and that comes from the top down. As I was making my rounds getting to know everyone, most of my new team members mentioned our CEO by name, and had great things to say about the vision and values he leads our company with. And finally, our new state of the art building makes our location a dream work space. Our desks are ergonomically friendly, our employee gym is a huge perk, and our community spaces and conference rooms esthetically appealing. As a new employee, I could not have asked for a better reception or a better company. I look forward to furthering my career with Federal Home Loan Bank. I would highly recommend Federal Home Loan Bank to any job seeker who wants to work hard AND make a difference.

Cons

I will admit, as a new employee, I have not encountered any "cons" to report.

Established bank with an eye for the future

Pros

FHLB Des Moines is great bank to work for. The emphasis they place on transparency and employee engagement is very refreshing. The bank tries to make all employees aware of how individual and bank actions can positively impact our members and the communities they serve. Compensation and benefits are excellent. And the culture, at least in my area, is positive and open to change.

Cons

The bank is an established institution with a set way of doing business, while most people seem open to change there are a few that seem resistant. There is also a level of complexity to the operating structure of the bank that can make it difficult to fully understand how everything, and everyone, works together. I believe management at the bank is currently aware of these cons and they are actively trying to address them.

Pros

The benefits are good comparatively.

Cons

Biased people holding important positions. Management doesn't care for their employees. Employees are treated under valued than consultants.
