RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Fannie Mae full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
The drive to modernize and embrace change couples with the passion and drive of leadership is everything that makes this work so exciting and satisfying. Very impressed with the culture of Fannie Mae and how they invest in their workforce and mission!
Cons
Consolidating and moving all their offices to one building has caused a lot of space issues.
Advice to Management
The commitment to transform the company is amazing. Don’t get caught up in the process so much that you forget the environment people work in. Hoteling models to lower costs just drive people to work from home and break the collaborative rigor of working together in one place.

Pros
Benefits are very good. IT is really picking up new technology, becoming fun place to work and make long term friends. HR is finally changing year end review process. Locations are excellent and the new floor layouts are amazing.
Innovation is promoted and there is clearly time given to employees for new idea implementation.Cons
Bonus structure tilted more toward Management even in this agile world.
Hate the number of layers we have. Its highly Pyramid structure with lot of power struggle at top level.
Yearly salary growth is very minimal. Close to %2.5 only.Advice to Management
Reduce number of layers.
Add fixed bonus especially for K and below job levels.
Too many Directors, VPs, SVPs, EVP and then CEO.
Promotion is becoming rarity at lower level.Fannie Mae 2018-11-10 17:54 PST![Fannie Mae Logo]()
