Pros

Fannie is a good paying job as a recent graduate. I feel somewhat spoiled having spoken with some of my friends. There are lots of bright people who are accessible in the capital markets group who all work on the trading floor.

Cons

Although Fannie is a big company, people seem to move around a great deal, although I am not sure where to go from the Business Analyst position. Finance was more my goal, and while I am working with the finance/capital markets department, I am much more focused on Information systems and technology.
