Pros

Good benefits, excellent pay, and a lack of accountability if you are a boot licker.

Cons

Slow to adapt to change, especially when it comes to technology. Cultural tensions are a daily reality, largely driven by internal rivalries and poor leadership dynamics. The workforce includes many skilled professionals, but they’re often mismanaged by leaders who prioritize politics and favoritism over competence. Advancement tends to depend more on appeasing the right people than on actual performance, and when it’s time to demonstrate “fiscal efficiency” to upper management or regulators, the usual outcome is predictable: layoffs.

Pros

Compensation, 401k match, competent teams, ability to work on interesting projects at the heart of housing finance.

Cons

Terrible current leadership and FHFA. Previously great, now a toxic environment with low morale across the enterprise.
