Pros

- High profile company - Good managers do exist, however are passed up for promotions based on image and favoritism - Pay is great though grotesquely excessive considering the financial insolvency of this GSE that heavily contributed to the economic crash by providing easy-access (minimal diligence) finance for housing. The organization enabled our US housing prices to spin chaotically out of control as a result of this corporations mortgage liquidation mission statement.

Cons

- Reporting on delinquent loans, from inventory and REO (Real Estate Owned) properties to performing loans has an unexagerated lag time of 45 days. This is a painfully unacceptable delay. - Sr. Management's major priority is to drive all managers to provide reporting in a 75 slide power point presentation. This monopolization of our time paralyzes operational efficiency by sacrificing critical time needed to execute strategies and halts all efforts to achieve resolution of the millions of loans that need attention. - Ego leads the pack as does the cannibalistic self-promotion at all levels in most teams - The shameful lack of internal departmental coordination is a constant threat to the operation's effectiveness. This segregation of departments ranging from accounting to legal, sales to servicing and so much more, will result in heavy losses at the expense of our nation's taxpayers and investors.

Pros

Great team and luckily for me great leadership in my direct line up to my SVP.

Cons

It’s horrifying how things have changed since Pulte took over. Layoffs, elimination of entire job categories but not the responsibilities of those jobs. It’s not just you work more because a teammate is gone, it’s do a completely different job while still doing you job plus all of your layed off coworkers job.
