Pros

I worked for Fannie for several years. At first it was terrific. Allowed WFH and flex Friday's with great work/life balance. Pay was fantastic. The average tenure was very long and it seemed like a place I could comfortably work for years to come.

Cons

Upon Trump being elected and Bill Pulte being put in charge of FHFA yhe entire company changed seemingly overnight. Return to office was mandated seemingly overnight. Managers had to run their teams like a manager at a retail store constantly checking teams schedule for working in the office. Layoffs became common despite the company being profitable by billions every year. It was at that point you realized nobody was in control and Fannie was merely a tool for political pressure. The idiots in charge now are implementing asanine policies by tweets. They will cause the next 2008 if allowed to stay in power.

work life balance, management, benefits

Cons

Do not work here unless you want carreer your growth to be kneecaped, as you will not be provided the tools you need to succeed. At the beginning of each month. They allow you about $50 worth of premium tokens and then and put you on a model from 10 months ago (in my case 5.o mini) so you're basically working in the past. It's frustrating to, after the first few days of the month, do everything 10x slower. It's indicitive of a poorly run company, as AI enabled me to increase my output 10x, and they intentionally throttle that growth. Beauracratic nightmare. Work for somewhere that enables you to do your job well. That allows you to keep up with current tools.
