Pros

Immediate team and leaders are great and support you when needed

Cons

Company is no longer the top workplace it once was. Since the new administration took over, the culture has shifted significantly—and not for the better. Employees have lost a sense of autonomy and are increasingly being told by FHFA’s Pulte what to do rather than trusted to do their jobs. Decision-making feels top-down, with little room for input or professional judgment. There are also growing concerns around hiring practices. It appears that candidates are expected to align politically, which raises serious questions about fairness and inclusivity. Overall, what was once a strong, people-focused workplace now feels controlled and misaligned with the values it previously promoted.

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.
