Ship of Fools - consider working here only if McDonald's is not hiring - Corporate Drone Fannie Mae Employee Review

Great place if you want to be surrounded by - mediocrity - entitlement - ridiculous bureacracy - even your screensaver is dictated (and controlled) by the company. Endless policy documents and versions of policy. - favoritism, cronyism - too many chiefs, not enough indians. Way too top-heavy. Too many people "scoping and leading" and "creating strategy" (laughable) and way too few doing any actual work. - telework - can telework 1 day a week, and it HAS TO BE THE SAME DAY EACH WEEK - High paranoia - everthing is top, top secret... An absurdly poor company that occasionally sees flashes of mediocrity. "Leadership" is a joke - they have no idea of where they want to go, and even less of an idea of how to get there. Of course, they blame conservatorship on their inability to act... they are more concerned with how they look than what they can do. Have not seen a more arrogant, self-serving bunch of "leaders" since Enron. The company functions at a snail's pace, due to incopetence and to the fact that no one here has a backbone. No one steps forward and takes the lead on anything, despite all the "strategy development" they say they're doing. These guys wouldn't know strategy if it bit them. They refuse to manage performance - that is, those who are below on performance expectations and standards are not managed out. Instead, they are either put up with, or are somehow transferred around the company. Thankfully there is a hiring freeze or at least a dramatic reduction in openings - save yourself a lot of grief and skip this for another company. Any other company.
