Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Employer Reviews

Best place ever worked. Entry level to commissioned examiner, to supervisory examiner, to executive positions. With a little hard work you can have a very successful career.

A typical day at work consists of working with various managers and senior staff on projects such as events planning for conferences, both international and domestic; analyzing and reporting economic and financial systems data; and assisting with foreign visitors. My co-workers are very easy-going and we are able to work as a team. Management operates – more... with a kind but firm grasp. The hardest part of the job is to stay on top of global economic and financial issues. The most enjoyable part is working with international representatives on a one-on-one basis. – less

On bank closings I was the public face of the FDIC, guiding people through the closing process by interacting with and assisting the assuming institution, failed bank customer and employees, and the media. When not on bank closings, acted as an informal mediator to find solutions for bank customers and whistle blowers who had problems with a bank, and – more... with bankers who had issues with regulators. – less

A typical day was productive and sometimes challenging. The learning experience was invaluable and my co-workers were a diverse group which was an enhancement personally. The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with such a diverse group of people as co-workers and those outside of the office setting.

Work with a great team of individuals, majority focused on the mission, not personal agenda. Organization is Mission Driven, not Profit Driven, does take some getting used to vs. private sector.
The work is interesting, learning the inter workings of finanicial institution and having the opportunity to examine a failed financial institution with the – more... benefit of hindsight. Unfortunately, as a temporary employee, no job security and no job placement for other vacant positions. Need to compete on open job market. – less

I was not cut out for this job but did not know until I did it. The work was pretty much the same every week. Go to a new bank and perform an audit.

I have worked in the banking industry during the past two decades. I though I knew a lot until I went to work at the FDIC. I have learned a whole other side banking; the regularatory side.

I am a term employee with the FDIC but if a permanent opportunity opened I would jump at it. It is a great organization with great pay and great benefits.

The talent level is widely variable. Projects can range from interesting to mindless. Progression is very difficult due to US government preference (by law) for military veterans. Suggestions for efficiency improvements are not supported and in some cases may hinder one's career.

A once in a lifetime opportunity as an intern. Respected as a person and not becasue of your position title.

Overall not bad. Advancement was a little slow but I enjoyed the people very much

Although my assignment was only temporary, I did enjoy the work as well as co-workers. Great bunch of people.

During my tenure as a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Contractor I took advantage of the opportunities to excel in my work and was recognized and rewarded for my efforts by both the employees of FDIC and my Company. I was encouraged to continue to excel in my career as a top performer. I highly recommend FDIC as an exciting place to work – more... and grow. – less
