Freddie Mac – “Static work environment, takes care of employees, good compensation and great benefits, very lax company culture”
Pros
Great benefits (health, new home buyers, etc.)
Compensation is competitive
Lax company culture / dress code
Existence of New Hire "class" and comradery (lots of events social and otherwise done together)
Many young professionals between the interns and new college hires
New College Hire IT Rotation - samlpe different IT work before landing somehwere
Gym in most buildings (also volleyball/basketball intramurals and leagues)
Very diverse workplace (culturally, agewise, background, etc.)
Cons
Big company, moves slow
Future uncertain
Generally low moral (among interns and college hires I spoke to)
I felt like I would be doing the SAME work years down the road (hard to move around)
Advice to Senior Management
Be more transparent about thewhat you will actually be doing when you're hired.
