Tons of flexibility but limited growth opportunities

I really loved Freddie Mac when I first joined 5 years ago. Since then we have had several leadership changes and with that the culture has changed too. Pros- Flexibility - Good benefits and pay - Decent job securityCons- Some teams don’t respect personal boundaries (emailing after hours and meetings at 8:30am, 5pm and 6 are common)- Lots of pressure placed on mid-level employees without a lot of guidance or grace for growth- As a company they haven’t figured out how to support employees in professional development- Depending on department, the work and expectations can be very stressful - Often, new initiatives are started and abandoned after a short time and very hard work
