Fannie Mae is a very good place to work at for life balance but the job security is unpredictable because of annual downsizing.

Executive Administrative Assistant (Former Employee), Washington, DCOctober 6, 2015
Pros: Great environment!
Cons: Traffic was horrific
Working at Fannie Mae was a learning experience throughout the years. While I was there the housing market crashed, we lost three of our CEOs, the culture changed and numerous other things happened, but through all of the adversity of the company it still remained in tact, a family oriented management, consistently teaching you about the market, and how to maintain upbeat attitudes. I enjoyed going into work each day because of the management in my division. The hardest part of the job was trying to get there through all of the DC, VA, and MD traffic! It took me a while to make my decision to retire from Fannie Mae because I felt as though I was leaving my family.

Loan Servicing Specialist III - Credit (Former Employee), Addison, TXSeptember 23, 2015
Pros: Pay, benefits and schedule
Cons: Workload
A typical day at work consisted of assisting 200+ banks nationwide with any policies, procedures or guidelines that needed clarification as well as new programs that were implemented on a consistent basis whether it be via email or phone. In addition, I also conducted trainings during team huddles and company meetings along with special projects for upper management. The co-workers were excellent and extraordinary, mature people. The most enjoyable part of the job was the pay and the hardest part of the job was the fact that the job duties and tasks were never ending and constantly increased on a daily basis.

Good working environment, but job uncertainty prevents people from staying long. Nobody knows what will ultimately happen to the GSEs. Good benefits with flexible working arrangements.

Opportunity to lean a lot
BUSINESS/SYSTEM ANALYST (Current Employee), Reston, VAAugust 20, 2015
Pros: Diversity, busy, opportunities to learn more
Cons: Too many long meetings (4 to 5 hour long meetings in a day) and management promising false hope
I've worked at Fannie Mae for more than four years. I've gotten the opportunity to learn a lot and be a team lead while working with great people. Fannie Mae is appealing to me due to the multicultural environment, flexibility to work from home and the extra activities that Fannie Mae is involved in like Help the Homeless Program or Walk for a cause.

Claims Specialist (Current Employee), Dallas, TXAugust 14, 2015
Pros: Diversity, relaxed atmosphere, proximity to eateries
Cons: Parking
A typical day starts with me checking emails and responding to the most urgent items first and clearing the remainder as I go throughout my day. In between emails I handle daily job duties which includes reconciling FHA/VA/USDA loans and contacting internal and external customers as needed. It is a company that allows you to have a great work/life balance. The management team is very knowledgeable and approachable. My co-workers were very helpful at my onboarding and answered any questions I may have had to help me in my transitioning into the company. If I had to choose something to be considered to be hard about my job I guess it would be the parking. The most enjoyable part of my job will be that I look forward to going to work and the recognition when a job is well done.

Business Resiliency Project Analyst (Former Employee), Washington, D.C.August 12, 2015
A typical day at work consists of generating reports for eagerly excited teammates in the morning and assisting with the extraction of data from project data. I learned to be efficient and precise in data manipulation and extraction. I learned to present data in an acceptable fashion to senior management and to ultimately communicate to management my needs and expectations.The most enjoyable part of the job was to complete a project and receive acknowledgement for it.
