Productive and easy going enviornment
Compliance Credit Risk Analyst III (Former Employee) – Dallas, TX – July 17, 2018
Laid back and self paced work culture. The department I worked required minimal supervision and no micro management. Everyone did their duties and were accountable for their own portfolio management.
Pros
Stability
Cons
Hard to move to another department
Demanding envornment
Production Support Analyst IV (Former Employee) – Reston, VA – July 16, 2018
I loved the job I was doing but the management needs to learn how to balance work/life for the employees. The demand and stress on the production/application support is very high.
Pros
Great benefits and salary
Cons
In production/application support the environment can become toxic.

Experience at Fannie Mae
Analyst and Senior MBS Trader (Former Employee) – Mae, WA – July 13, 2018
I enjoyed my time at Fannie Mae, with the largest benefits being the fact that I worked with a great team on the market desk with individuals that I liked and respected. I also learned a lot about my specialty during my time at Fannie Mae. My primary reasons for leaving were (1) my daily commute from the Virginia suburbs to Fannie Mae's DC location, and (2) my perception that Fannie Mae too often promoted from outside the company and that I faced very slim prospects for promotion into management. However, on net, I have no regrets about my time at Fannie Mae and would still be there if another great opportunity had not crossed my path.
Pros
Compensation, benefits, challenging work
Cons
Lack of internal promotion and advancement policies and practices.
Place sucks
Consultant (Former Employee) – Washington, DC – July 11, 2018
Fannie Mae is completely mismanaged. The biggest problem is people there are almost like government workers with the entitlement and knowledge they won't get fired. The tech organization is poorly run and lack of focus. I would stay far away from them as a company.
Pros
None
Cons
too many things to say
Productive and knowledge gathering environment

Great to gain experience
DevOps/AWS Engineer (Current Employee) – Herndon, VA – July 10, 2018
I loved my time at Fannie Mae. I found most co-workers were very driven while also friendly. You really have the opportunity to make a difference here. You build your own path. I had a close working relationship within my department. We worked well together and there was always support, so I never felt like I couldn't ask for guidance or help.
Keep up the outstanding work, thank you for your efforts!

Cyber Security Specialist - Team Lead (Former Employee) – Reston, VA – July 10, 2018
I was given several opportunities for advancement over the years. The company makes every effort to improve where needed based on the satisfaction surveys.
Pros

Cons
Weekends and OT always expected.
Passive Aggressive Popularity Contest
Program Manager/Project Manager (Former Employee) – Reston, VA – July 6, 2018
Tough place to work, decision style is more by "whimsy" than based on previous actual experience. Top performers are the ones that make "easy" look "hard".
Pros
Pay, they pay 30% above local average
Cons
Too many
Only interetsed in Salary, Fannie Mae is your Company
Finance Manager (Former Employee) – Washington, DC – July 3, 2018
Good Pay and I believe that’s why people stay for so long. Its not the quality of the work, but the pay. Some departments are flexible with Work from Home benefits, while other departments aren’t as flexible.
Inclusive company but not including. Upper management lacks communication to employees, they lack people skills and they will “throw you under the bus” whenever it benefits them. The company lacks respect for many of its employees, as well as, value. There is no teamwork and little collaboration amongst the teams resulting in many employees/managers looking out for themselves. The attrition is high, impacting little to no training or some jobs not continuously being done. No structured mentoring program. Limited growth opportunities. No vision/strategic plan, therefore the company hire folks into positions with limited or no job scope and soon after release them due to budget constraints. Frequent organization changes or restructuring ( 2 reorg’s in 1.5 years) Finally, this company is extremely cliquey. As an experience manager working at other Fortune 500 companies, I have chosen to leave and return to a company that promotes communication, structured, enjoyable and respectful work environments.

Pros
Good Pay, Good Benefits
Cons
Managers lack people skills, no clear work structure (alot of loosely, goosey), no mentoring programs, poor internal communication between upper management and staffs, limited growth opportunties and the company lacks repect for its employees
Great opportunities
REO Sales Representative / REO Asset Manager (Former Employee) – Pasadena, CA – July 2, 2018
Would still be working there if they had not relocated our team. Fantastic place to work, great culture, great opportunities. Management was easy to work with in the REO Sales division. Was able to work from home.

Application Quality Release Manager (Former Employee) – Herndon, VA 20170 – June 23, 2018
I liked Fannie Mae as the system in Fannie Mae is well documented. Technically and technologically good. But one thing I did not admire, was too much of similar kind of people. There was no diversity.
Good place to work
Technical Implementation Manager (Former Employee) – Reston, VA – June 22, 2018
Can be stressful at times, but compensation and benefits more than make up for the long hours.
The people (in my group, at least) were very friendly and easy to work with.
