      Pros

      Having a broad, positive impact on the U.S. housing industry. Had ability to work on significant projects that made housing more available and affordable.

      Cons

      Very political environment. Unfortunately it is not based on what you accomplish or your skills and experience, reviews and advancement based on who you know and what others (fairly or not) say about you. More emphasis placed on perception than results.

      Pros

      Most of the organizations in Fannie Mae are full of senior leadership that encourages a culture of "you scratch-my-back-I'll scratch-yours". To enable this, they surround themselves with people who are "Yes Men". Most of the promotions are based on this dynamics of favoritism culture. It is more evident in the IT/Technology groups. Fannie Mae has some very bright people, but they stick around because either they have developed inertia or they are not employable outside. Most of leadership in IT/Technology is non-technical (including tons of managers and directors) who don't have a depth/breadth of technology comparable to a fresh CS graduate from a decent university. But they are in the top paying jobs because of their ability to "network".

      Cons

      Excellent benefits, decent work-life balance (even though it is deteriorating fast), okay pay structure.

      Cons

      Could provide more PTO, but sick days are unlimited. Definitely more pros than cons!
