Interview
Interview had two rounds, online video interview and then interview with a few members of the hiring team. Both were relatively short and easy, basic questions regarding my experience and resume.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Freddie Mac in Jan 2025
