Pros

Great work life balance. Management is usually great. Salary and benefits are great!

Cons

Little room for advancement. Politics involved in hiring buddies to positions that they are not qualified for. Since the company themselves state there are more lay offs to come it is difficult to find employment along the same pay scale.

Pros

- Transformation to modern ways of working - Executive support for Agile, DevOps, and cloud - Lots of lateral opportunities for managers and staff - IT Development at Fannie Mae has become exciting - silos and bureaucracy are no longer the primary mindset and are starting to face as cultural elements

Cons

- no upward growth above manager - operations still holding onto outdated\bureaucratic means of running IT - groups in EA, Security and Operations still operating under 90's technology mindset - corporate functions (HR, Finance, etc) are still bureaucratic in nature
