Pros

benefits and wlb were good

Cons

1. Random team/location placement 2. Legacy tech/legacy code 3. Management undermines college graduate skillset. My primary task for 6 months was to maintain an excel spreadsheet of unix server passwords. I've pushed this horrible experience behind me and have moved on. However, I don't want any college graduate to experience the same as I did. If you're a college graduate and want rapid growth in your career, then don't work here. 4. Fannie Mae hires lots of contractors, so people come and go all the time.

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.
