Fannie Mae reviews

It seems like the management became introspective and ceased to operate in the best interest of the company and its purpose. When you have such a large, multi-tiered organization, there's an inherent risk for individuals to focus more on their career than on their purpose. During the past year, my experience quashed any hope I had for the health of the organization. Time and time again, I saw management who were more concerned for their career or their "emprire". When confronting apparent conflicts of interest and potential ethics concerns, management tried to supress and mis-direct. There is a lack of character leaving the Technology division as a soul-less shell. There did not appear to be a clear direction for the road ahead. Instead, morale is at an all time low and everyone is "going through the motions". The talented resources are either replaced through SS/MS attrition or they lose hope. When it was my time to leave, I was given 4 NEW projects during my last 2 weeks and I was prevented from wrapping up work with my current customers. That was an absolute kick to the head. I left wihout securing a replacement position ... as a customer observed (a manager), "its a bad sign when our best and brightest will chose to work no where, rather than working here". Fannie Mae is nearly complete in its transformation: A government bureacracy in every sense of the word. BTW: I found a replacement position within my 2 week transition.

No raise two years in a row, although management is awarded multi-million dollar bonuses. Somehow the employees are not seen by management as a justifiable expense to the Treasury, and in order to keep top talent you have to incent them to stay. If the employees are not allowed to have a raise two years in a row, at least implement some type of employee recognition program, or set up regular work from home scenarios. Something to offset the insult of not receiving a raise right before Christmas while the upper management takes home millions of dollars.
