I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Freddie Mac
Interview
Oppose to the traditional "we would like to meet with you", the recruiter will call and ask you a few questions over the phone. After the phone interview, they would send you a few questions to answer and return to them. Those answers will determine your next step in the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A lot of the questions were behavioral which I was not prepared for. I guess the little experience that I had totally out weigh the fact that I just graduated from school, therefore I didn't encountered a lot of the situations to apply how I dealt with it.
Call with HR and then the hiring manager. Never heard back from anyone even after reaching out so I assume I didn't get the job. I am fine with not getting the job, but I feel like it's pretty disrespectful to not even send an automated rejection.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Freddie Mac (McLean, VA) in Jun 2022
Interview
I had an initial phone screening with HR. Followed by a straight-forward interview with the hiring manager and then a final interview with the VP. No trick questions throughout the hiring process; I accepted the offer.
