Freddie Mac – “Still a Good Place to Work”

Pros

The work is interesting and challenging (as least in most parts of the company) and the employee benefits are well above average, especially for long-tenured employees, of which I'm one. There does seem to be a certain type of person - mostly a politically savvy corporate type - who thrives at Freddie.

Cons

While conservatorship has led to new challenges, it has also slowed down processes at an already bureaucratic company. More important than that is the uncertain future of the company.

Advice to Senior Management

Stick around for a while. Some stability in the senior management ranks is very much needed to maintain - and potentially improve - employee morale!
