Pros

The pay and benefits are good. The company promotes volunteering in the local community. The company allows working from home subject to manager approval.

Cons

Employees are measured by comparison with their peers. Employee performance outside the average range of peers, whether positive or negative, is discouraged. Employees who make suggestions are considered malcontents. Employees that ask questions are considered incompetent. Fannie Mae is a Government Sponsored Entity that has a highly political culture without the government job benefits of job security and secure retirement.

Pros

As a contractor the best part of working at Fannie Mae was the monetary compensation. I also enjoyed my co-workers.

Cons

Management was out of touch and rarely interacted with their staff. The company is very unstable and there are a lot of layoffs. There was intense pressure to meet deadlines. Management encouraged employees to work until daily quota was met which often resulted in long hours, but did not allow overtime contrary to the contracting company guidelines. The Fannie Mae job guidelines were huge and were added to on a daily basis making it difficult to keep up with requirements. Contractors were generally treated poorly compared to full time workers.
