I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Freddie Mac (McLean, VA) in Sep 2020
Interview

Everyone was super friendly and the interviews weren't super structured. More like a conversation than an intense interview.
They're not looking for heavy finance knowledge, just a general interest in Freddie Mac as a company.
