Stop the bad behavior, it trickles down to your employees.

Pros
Pay checks do not bounce. Fitness Center for employees
Cons
Toxic environment. The single most nightmarish position I've ever held. Cut-throat, political and politically-correct, stifling bureaucracy. Managers allowed to lie and run amok and connected employees have freedom to bully and scheme. Please do not put yourself through this. Freddie Mac is broken down into several independent departments / divisions. Each one works as a stand-alone entity. They rarely talk to...... each other. There is a lot of duplicate efforts happening within. Senior Management does not seem to have the experience or control. Plus, they will not listen to SMEs that have the experience they are trying to incorporate. IT side completely run by Indians and their contracting firms. Racist. No african americans, or white americans are hired. IT is dependent on using indian bodyshops like TCS, Hexaware, Brillio, and Cognizant to get rid of white americans. Complaints to HR go no where.

Find out why TCS does not hire African Americans? why do you do business with one of the most racist firms in the US?
