Pros

Fannie Mae's mission, work life balance, compensation and benefits are excellent. Some really good people to work with and interesting work to be done.

Cons

Conservatorship has hampered progress. Business and leadership challenges are seeing good, experienced people leave. Morale is declining and the unknown has caused the company to lose focus.

Pros

Good overall compensation. For highly experienced people it will be better than most other firms in the areas. Good performance is rewarded with decent bonuses. Generally allows a decent work+life balance but it depends on your area of work and of course immediate management attitude/competence.

Cons

Too many internal changes. That's not even including changes that the Government may implement - like winding it down. Lot of internal politics. Far too many managers and directors - very top heavy.
