Pros

The majority of the people are great to work with.

Cons

The amount of process they have put into each project is overwhelming. They are so risk adverse nothing reasonable can be done. They expect zero defects on projects. If one thing isn’t perfect it is a huge issue and all projects need to add additional safe guards to make sure it never happens again.

Thank you for your feedback. You’re right – our people are great! And while our (heavily) regulated environment means we don’t have a big risk appetite, we aren’t risk adverse, either. We believe in building a strong risk culture so we can manage the risk in our work – instead of letting the risk manage us.

Unsure of advancement opportunities. Compliance and regulations (FHFA is regulator) are onerous.

Thank you for your review. The work we do for our members gives us a shared sense of purpose. And while we aren't a huge organization with endless opportunities to advance, we are a great mid-sized company with endless opportunities to develop!
