Cultured
Business Analyst (Former Employee) – Herndon, VA – September 20, 2017
I was there for an internship, the team I was with helped me be very well equipped for my future career. When you ask for help , everyone is there for you. I felt comfortable everyday, not out of place. A nice cultured environment.

Job Advancement
Training and Development Manager (Current Employee) – Mae, WA – September 17, 2017
Job Advancement throughout G4S is a great element on the Fannie Mae account. All of management has started as a security officer a throughout the years made it to project managers, policy specialist, operations, technical and communication support. The workplace culture is very friendly, a typical day is customer service and ensuring policies per client request are followed.
Balance is Key!
Sr. Project Manager (Former Employee) – Reston, VA – September 15, 2017
A wonderful work/life balance; Management promotes an open environment for expression of ideas and "Best Practices". All levels are given the opportunity to share ways to do things better.

Large bureaucracy with uncertain future
Manager, NPL Sales (Current Employee) – Enterprise, WA – September 13, 2017
A typical day at Fannie Mae depends completely on the work you do there. The capital markets areas are fast paced and stressful. It has a large IT department that is trying to reinvent itself from a traditional management to a more Agile based shop. The benefits are very good but it is hard to get promoted since the company is shrinking. The fact that the company's future is uncertain due to the conservatorship is a real negative.

credit verifier/auditor
Customer Service Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Chicago, IL – August 24, 2017
I typically audited the calls and credit card information to ensure no mistakes was made while the data was being entered. I also dealt with customer concerns and any customer issue. The workplace culture was awesome the hallways was lined with trays of candies. The work enviorment was relaxed. the best part was ensuring customer satifaction the hardest part was resisting the candies.
Analyst
Senior IT Support Analyst II (Current Employee) – Washington, DC – August 23, 2017
Work day can be normal or very long it depends on the issue.
Hardest part maybe troubleshooting issues you don't see or can't find the root cause.
Staff does get training on new technology

I worked for CGI, and my client was Fannie Mae
Unix Application Support Engineer (Current Employee) – Columbia, SC – August 23, 2017
I worked for CGI, and my client was Fannie Mae. CGI was a good place but they are a sub contracting agency. Only so much they can do. Fannie Mae decided to move my project internal without adequate warning.
Pros
CGI offices are good
Cons
Fannie Mae is misleading and deceitful
