How employees describe working at Freddie Mac
Seem to work well most days
Managers will hire you, will not train you, will not give you any support when it comes to being successful at your new position. I FELT so DEFEATED when I first started as a Multifamily underwriter. My boss promised she would support me when in fact she was too busy to help me.
Great mission, diverse, and good benefit/compensation
love the quality of the loan process
In midst of transformation, so directions change fast. Too heavy middle management.
