      Pros

      Great technological opportunities, great benefits, money at the top of the industry, great people within the team you are working with.

      Cons

      It is a big organization and when they decide to do something, even if it is bone headed they will go ahead with it and declare it a success. Standing up and saying something gets you labeled "not a team player."

      Pros

      good pay, good benefits, somewhat flexible. Helping to bring the economy back on its feet. Verbal recognitions.

      Cons

      inefficiencies and bottlenecks everywhere. No ownership. Everything is directed by FHFA. Lots of changes in the company, not sure if it will be around for long. Highly political environment. No upward mobility. Promotions are not performance based. It's all about playing the game here.

      Avoid if you like change - used to be a great place to work

      Director, technology
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fantastic employees who are willing to make incredible sacrifices for the company, hours, weekend, work-lie balance. They are a "do what it take" group.

      Cons

      Technology organization has lost its way. Outsourcing important work to vendors with very junior resources. Change is bad to senior management - technology used to be empowered to provide value to the business. Senior management has erected so many barriers to deployments that it makes months to deploy simple changes to the production environment.
