Pros

Fannie Mae is a stable and well-structured organization, making it a solid choice for professionals who are looking for steady, predictable work and a good environment for the later stages of their career. The company offers reliable benefits, reasonable work-life balance, and a slower, more methodical pace compared to fast-moving tech firms.

Cons

Hard to learn new skillsets

Pulte is a man of his word

Pros

Fannie Mae was a completely different place to work before Pulte. It definitely had a government workplace vibe, hard-working, and smart people but way more relaxed. The pay is decent and the 401(k) is generous.

Cons

Was laid off recently by automated email from workday manager didn’t even call me or email me. Had to call HR and ask what was going on a couple months before Pulte I remember Priscilla talking about “ DEI is part of the DNA of this company” and the day after pulte tweeted about killing the eye of Mae they sent out an email saying that people in that department were no longer with the company. That’s like saying McDonald’s DNA is their hamburgers and then one to eat later they’ve abandoned hamburgers. Obviously the DEI stuff is just corporate nonsense that nobody really believed anyway. I gotta hand it to Pulte, though he really followed through on what he said he was gonna do and he did it very quickly. In a few years, that place is gonna be run like an investment bank.
