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.

Pros

Great team and luckily for me great leadership in my direct line up to my SVP.

Cons

It’s horrifying how things have changed since Pulte took over. Layoffs, elimination of entire job categories but not the responsibilities of those jobs. It’s not just you work more because a teammate is gone, it’s do a completely different job while still doing you job plus all of your layed off coworkers job.
