First interview by phone with HR was fairly easy and straight-forward. I was then invited to attend Freddie Day several days later, where we had some presentations about the mortgage industry, benefits, etc. That day included two one-hour interviews with hiring managers, who were accompanied by college hires from previous cohorts. Some technical questions, mostly involving experience with different platforms, environments, programming languages, etc. Other questions were behavioral. Received offer three weeks later. HR folks were very friendly! Travel reimbursement arrived within three weeks of interview.

Recruitment process was very unorganized. They had gotten my resume out of a resume book, and then emailed me, asking me in all red, bold letters to REPLY TO TODAY if you are interested. Then, in order to phone interview, filling out a paper application and then faxing it was required, there was no online application. Once I reached second round, my travel arrangements were made the business day before I had to depart for their headquarters in DC. They didn't even give me information about which hotel I would be staying in until I was at the airport. From asking around, I was not alone in this experience. This cast them in a negative light right from the beginning. Once I got there things were a bit better coordinated. People were very nice, and the interviews were pretty easy. However, presenting for an hour about mortgages to IT recruits at 8:00 am probably isn't recommendable.
