      Pros

      Decent pay, decent work flexibility

      Cons

      Used to be a wonderful place, but since the passing of its founder it's become just another sweat shop with dispropotional politics for such a small place

      I worked at Annaly Capital Management full-time

      Pros

      - Compensation is good
      - Benefits are good (for now)
      - Workload is mild

      Cons

      Since the original founder/CEO died, there has been near 100% turnover in the management team. New CEO has filled management positions with friends and fellow Notre Dame alumni, with predictable results for culture, morale, and performance.

      I worked at Annaly Capital Management as an intern

      Pros

      Annaly Capital Management was my first internship, so I really knew nothing about finance when I started. They were awesome, taught me EVERYTHING I needed to know. They sent us on a Bloomberg Training Program at the Bloomberg headquarters on 59th Street to teach us how to use the Bloomberg Terminal, and we had access to the Terminal from our computers every day at work. Learned so much, and it was a great foundation that well-prepared me for following internships.

      Cons

      Although the internship is amazing, it is a 10-week program during the summer and that is IT. If you are a rising senior and looking for full-time employment, they typically don't hire interns for full-time positions. If you're considering interning there as a rising senior, just ask if there are full-time opportunities if you do a good job.

      Advice to Management

      Thanks for investing so much into your interns!

      Pros

      Excellent benefits, generally nice people. Good hours. Easy work.

      Cons

      Death of former CEO brought out the worst in everyone. Original employees who weren't qualified to manage a Starbucks that lucked in to million dollar jobs through friends or family couldn't hack it when people who understood how Wall Street worked showed up. under new CEO the place turned in to a miserable environment with people too busy talking about each other to do any work and they imploded when asked to actually contribute more than their golf handicap. Fortunately they are all gone but some of the good ones left too and all that was left was a miserable shell.

      Advice to Management

      It's ok to work hard and be good to your employees. That doesn't have to be mutually exclusive.

      Pros

      They pay for your lunch. They pay for your benefits. They match a portion of your 401K

      Cons

      Was probably the best place to work up until about 2013. New CEO has created a new investment banking environment, plays favorites and he controls how everyone is paid. He has very intimate relationships with certain employees, especially female ones. Seems to bring in many people who lack experience in the mortgage reit business but are his friends. CEO is very concerned with surrounding himself with people who only tell him yes.

    10. "Great summer experience"

      I worked at Annaly Capital Management as an intern

      Pros

      The people at Annaly are one of the best parts of working there. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful, and the work environment is very positive.

      Cons

      I can't say I have any real complaints about my experience at Annaly this past summer, other than it would be nice if they hired interns full-time.

      Advice to Management

      HR and the team that runs the intern program do a fantastic job incorporating real work experience and learning into what seemed like an incredibly fast 2 months.
