Important Mission, Bad Managers - Anonymous employee Federal Student Aid Employee Review

Great office space, reasonable colleagues

Constant stress of downsizing and RIFs

Not many anymore. Used to have schedule flexibility and remote work, but those were taken away this year.

Run by lawyers who have never worked anywhere else, so they have very limited legal and managerial experience. They ignore basic principles taken for granted everywhere else and value form over substance. Attorneys are hired to do boring copy pasta work. Do not work here unless you are desperate.
