Pros

I thought it will be a great stable place to work with good benefits. As an IT auditor there was a lot of work to be done at Fannie Mae when i joined and as a result i thought it would be a great opportunity

Cons

Change comes very slowly at Fannie Mae. The company has archaic procedures, rules, systems and overall culture. Its difficult to walk in with ideas because everyone is set in there ways.

Pros

Name Recognition/Brand in the market place Potential connections within industry to other employers in the sector Learning and working in the secondary mortgage market Promote heavily and in a friendly manner the ability to attend and contribute towards external volunteer activities (especially those oriented towards homelessness) Excellent Benefits package Generally open, good, positive work environment If a person is already specialized in the mortgage market - then plenty of lateral and horizontal mobility High focus on risk avoidance Some degree of allowance to Telecommuting or working from remote Many structured processes

Cons

Industry in upheaval Heavily dependent on political winds Bonus structure poor unless the person is in higher management position If a person is not specialized in the mortgage market - then a lack of lateral and horizontal mobility High focus on risk avoidance leading to bureaucracy and missed opportunities High degree variability from one manager to another in allowance of people to Telecommuting or working from remote
