Freddie Mac – “Consultant Viewpoint”

Pros

Overall great organization because the company purpose was known and incorporated in every project. Good inclusion and diversity of staff at all levels, including sexual orientation.

Cons

Too much needed to be done and the focus on the details that make a difference were sometimes over looked. When layoffs occurred, some folks that did not deserve it, were let go. Like most companies, Politics are king, even over logic.

Advice to Senior Management

Perform 360 degree reviews for all employees and act upon those findings. Value the talent that is there and reward accordingly.
