Pros

The work life balance is great. Career development is good IF you are motivated. The pay is still excellent. Co-workers are friendly, it's not a cut-throat or high stress environment compared to a lot of other jobs. Work can be challenging or boring depending on your group.

Cons

A lot of the benefits of working here that were amazing such as free executive MBA degree education, stock options (now worthless), job security (virtually none in this climate) are now gone. A lot of folk here lack ambition and are pay check collectors with a sense of entitlement and mediocre abilities.

Pros

Caring employer. Fannie Mae is famous for its generosity in salary and benefits. It almost always ranks at the top of the annual survey about best employer to work for in the Washington DC area.

Cons

Uncertain future. Due to the current credit crisis and the takeover by the government last year, the future of the company is unclear. Stocks granted to employees for the hard work put in during the torturous restatement period is now worthless causing a lot of pain to the employees.
