I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Freddie Mac (McLean, VA) in Apr 2011
Interview
Received an email from HR Rep regarding a job that I applied to, in order to set up phone interview. Commnication was very good at the beggining. During phone interview it was going well until I was asked about a term that from my previous industry we didn't use. I asked the recruiter to explain the term, because there may be a good chance that in my former industry we call it something different. Response was "I don't know what it means, they just told me to ask you about it." At this point I realized I was doomed. I was informed that I would hear something by the start of the next week. After the call, I did some research on the term how Freddie Mac uses it, compared to my former industry and as a result I sent an email to the HR Rep explaining my findings as well as a thank you. The email was recieved and read (thanks to the return receipt), but no response.
Now its the day of when I should be hearing back from HR Rep, but no call or email. I wait till the next day and send an email to inquire, once again my email is opened but no response. A week later, I get a automated message stating the position has been filled. Very unprofessional way for a HR Rep to handle a potential employee. I can handle the rejection, its just that as "job seekers" I guess that we put to much trust into the professionalism of others.

Interview
Probably not typical, but the process was extremely fast for me. I applied. 4 days later, HR reached out to me. In the next 6 days, I met with 2 VPs, an SVP, and an EVP. An offer showed up a week later.
After some negotiations, a 2nd offer came a week later.
Interviews were very straightforward and HR kept me apprised of the process and schedule.
I applied online. I interviewed at Freddie Mac in Sep 2020
Interview
The entire process was very professional and had good communication about benefits, job duties, and the hiring process. I had a chance to talk with lots of different people in the organization and ask questions about work environment and strategy. I felt I had a very clear sense of expectations about this position and good communication after the interviews regarding feedback. It was a lengthy process but moves at a good speed

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Freddie Mac (McLean, VA) in Aug 2020
Interview
One of the interviewers, a middle-aged white male, offered me unsolicited advice about my resume and career at the end of the interview. I had the same amount of experience he did and I'm betting he wouldn't have done this if I were male.
