I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Freddie Mac (McLean, VA) in Mar 2014
Interview
Overall easy process. Applied through a University Portal. Had a phone interview, then was invited to Freddie day. Had two One on one interviews. Additionally had a follow up interview a few days later where they asked me more behavioral questions. Offered the job a day later. Typical behavioral interviews. Know a little bit about how Freddie Mac operates as well. Focus on what makes you great and talk about innovation. You will be fine.
Pre recorded questions you had to answer. They gave you a practice question and then gave you about a minute to answer each question. They also gave you a few seconds between asking the question and requiring you to answer for you to gather your thoughts.

Very nice hiring manager. Interview was mostly behavioral and asked about prior experiences that relate to the position. Only thing was that it was a tad bit fast, only like 30-40 min
