Freddie Mac Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Phone interview then site visit to a final round of interview. Two different interviews at the site. First with two managers and second with the director (hire decision maker)

Interview Details Recieved email and phone call from a recruiter who asked just a few questions about my background and resume. I was then invited to a face to face interview with the management team(took place about 2 weeks later). The interview lasted about an hour. I was impressed that we started on time. In the past I've interviewed with other companies and had to wait in the lobby 30 mins to an hour AFTER my scheduled time.

Interview Details talk to lots of people from different areas. Ask many tech problems. have lunch with team members. It is a whole day long interview.

Interview Details The recruiters were top notch. They maintained communication throughout the process. They were calling, emailing, and double checking repeatedly. The information provided about the process, directions to the facility, and ancillary materials were exceptional.

The interview was a behavioral-based one -- which is fairly standard. And, there was a job sampling requirement.

During the one-on-one with the hiring manager, there was a definitive explanation about not expecting to grow immediately. And, there was disclosure as to why others had left because of a perception that there was no upward mobility.

Typically, a company will sugarcoat this topic by saying you can progress in the company by pursuing any available job postings. But, it seemed the manager was truly trying to assert the territory, so you would have to look elsewhere if you wanted to grow.

Reason for Declining – The offer was very attractive in terms of base compensation. But, the company is in conservatorship, so you do have to realize that changes will be coming to the overall composition of the company. And, time will only tell how the changes are implmented (e.g. staff reductions, relocation, consolidation).

However, the major hurdle for me was the impression given by the hiring manager on personal growth and career development. It created a nagging feeling that just could not be overcome.

Interview Details Very tough, detailed and exhausting. I interviewed with four different people in one marathon interview.

Negotiation Details – 2 rounds back and fourth

Interview Details Interview was a 6 person panel, lasted for 6 hours. If you are well prepared, it is not grilling.

Interview Details Three round interview, two telephone interviews by seniors and HR, final round on site with managers and head of the department, the interviewers are all very friendly.

Interview Details Very straight forward and enjoyable. On campus interview was simple and short. Received a phone call a few days/weeks later and Discussed future opportunities on the phone.

Negotiation Details – It was a pleasant experience.

Interview Details Had a 45 minute phone interview. Got accepted to next round which was called "freddie day". There were about 20 candidates there. We split into 2 groups. One group interviewed first while the other took a tour of the campus and then they switched off. I interviewed with two people for 45 minutes each. They asked behavioral questions and then digressed into questions about where specifically I want to work within finance. I wasn't really sure what to answer.
