I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Freddie Mac (McLean, VA) in Feb 2016
Interview
The Interview process was very smooth and my recruiter was awesome. Use the questions on this site and you should be good for the Interview. I promised myself I would help others when I received my offer and some points to others that are still trying to receive their offer. Freddie Day is a wonderful experience so make sure to pay attention during the many presentations that are there to help you learn more about the company. Try not to be nervous since the hiring managers want to get to know you and about your past experiences, whether project or work based. Finally I will finish with ask questions since this is what every company I've interviewed with over the course of the school year have reiterated to me.

Mostly Behaviorial questions with a mixture of technical. Make sure to practice your answers a few days prior to your interview and 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.

Describe a new piece of technology you have encountered and how you went about learning about it.
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
