An Excellent Company....
REO Foreclosure Specialist (Current Employee), Dallas, TX –
Pros: awesome working environment
Cons: none that i could think of...however, their expectation is high, but you are compensated.
I have many years bring employed by top tier companies and I must say, Fannie Mae is wonderful place to work. Fannie Mae's pay is above what the average marketplace pays. Everyone is very professional, a lot of team work involved. They provide you with the tools, training and nice working environment needed to get job done. There is room for advancement. – more...  I work in the Dallas, Texas location. Fannie Mae is very compassionate, go above and beyond working with people that find themselves in foreclosure situation. Very proud to work for a very respectable company. Although I am moving out of Texas and back to Illinois. Wish I would have found this job 20 years go. Definitely a company where you want to start a career and end your career. – less

Worst company with the biggest jerks
Project Manager (Former Employee), Herndon, VA –
Pros: you don't have to do any work to keep your job.
Cons: people at this company are hateful and bitter.
This company is so unbelievably incompetent they cannot get rid of their poor performers because they have no way of identifying their poor performers. Employees get shuffled around from project to project or even promoted if their boss thinks they are incompetent because it's almost impossible to fire anyone.

If you want a job that you can sleep through, – more...  Fannie Mae is the place for you. – less

Great learning experience and opportunity to expand my skill set
Portfolio Manager (Former Employee), Jacksonville, FL –
Pros: travel, owned large projects that were key to performance
Cons: much of team in dallas & elsewhere
There was never a typical day at work as a Portfolio Manager at Fannie Mae. This is an exciting position that takes on many different responsibilities. Production and action taken by the servicer I managed at the time were my key indicators in this role. I was often assigned many of the more challenging and complicated responsibilities due to my willingness – more...  to take on these challenges, as well as my ability to quickly transition and take them on with minimal training or oversight. – less

Coworkers are great and from all over the Country. Management stinks!
NUC, Review Appraiser (Former Employee), Dallas, TX –
Pros: good pay, great co-workers
Cons: unaccountable management, no loyality
The daily review quota is hard to accomplish depending on your team managers' requirements. All have different requirements and not all managers follow the same company procedures. The good ones stand behind the reviewers on their team; unfortunately, others don't. While some managers are very good, there are bad ones that have no business in management – more...  or appraising, including top management. The training and overall communication is very poor. – less

Good employment experience. Much to learn in secondary market.
Mortgage Fraud Investigator III (Current Employee), Dallas, TX –
Pros: good compensation & benefits, flexible schedule
Cons: company gets a lot of unfair/unwarranted publicity
I have enjoyed the learning curve with regards to working at Fannie Mae. I have met the challenge of working for a very dynamic company such as Fannie Mae. I enjoy working in the anti-fraud department. My many years of experience in the mortgage industry has prepared me for this opportunity.

Little to no job security -- take only if needed
Project Manager (Current Employee), Washington DC –
Pros: good pay
Cons: no job security, no goals/profit motives
This company is run by the federal government and has no sense from day-to-day or anytime in the future what the future holds for it. Management has lost all value for the employee.
