Fannie Mae reviews

They use to care so much about employees, now we’re just playing the political game. They told everyone they needed to be back in an office on a Friday, starting that Monday. No time to adjust schedules at home. They packed everyone into buildings that don’t even have the space for everyone. Some can work from home, and others have all different days in the office. There is not a set schedule for anyone. They have turned it into a mess. Leadership is leaving and they don’t announce it, the employee survey was so bad this year they aren’t releasing it.

Micro-Management in the highest I've ever seen in my 20 years in 7 different companies. Nothing is ever enough and you have to get approval from your manager to do anything (i.e. email you send, slide deck). You are required to use JIRA to add work, however no one that enforces JIRA actually references it other than your Due Dates not being updated! The LoE to get anything done (upgrade a system for example) is so overboard that it's evident why things are so slow. Very much a finger-pointing organisation as well vs. let's just get the job done and move on. That adds to the stress b/c all work is to enforce CYA mentality. Lastly, if you join here your calendar will be full of meetings before you are 2 weeks in. This company loves its meetings! It's in the culture unfortunately and wont change. You have to block out time on your calendar to actually get anything done and if you miss a meeting they try to drag you in anyway. The amount of meetings is directly correlated with the above mentioned micro-management. Meetings during lunch, after 5pm and at 1pm on Fridays even though its supposed to be a half-day. Oh, and you worked 3 hours last night? Sorry for you as you are expected to still come in and work your 8 hours the next day.
