Question 1
Questions varied between FHA, Conventional , & VA products
The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at NVR (New York, NY)
Interview
They make you interview with the underwriting manager which is extremely intimidating. She's not warm, personable or inviting. She will grill you on underwriting questions and try to trip you up on your answer. I have a extensive underwriting background and was tripped up and I know 3 other underwriters who had the same as me. I'd recommend applying somewhere else if you don't mind working for a narcissist then hey go for it.

Question 1
They ask questions on underwriter guidelines. Like you should remember all of them off the top of your head.
I applied online. I interviewed at NVR (Cincinnati, OH) in May 2013
Interview
The interview process was relaxed. My Interviewers were very upfront about the atmosphere of the company and the expectation they required. The questions were direct and pertained to the position they were hiring for. Since NVR is a home builder their guidelines are a little different. They Interviewers were very informative and clear on their requirements and how the culture works there.
