Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Freddie Mac.
Technology Analyst
First, there was a video interview where I was asked automated questions about my past experiences. They asked me about 'tell me about a time' scenarios, and also about my weaknesses and strengths. The second round was a panel interview with several hiring managers. They asked questions about my coursework or previous job experience, and I had to explain my interests and why I want to join the firm.
- Can you share an instance of a workplace problem you faced and how you resolved it?
- Tell me about a challenging situation you encountered at work and the steps you took to address it.
- What are your key strengths and areas for development?
Systems Analyst
I applied online and heard back from Freddie Mac. The recruiter gave me a call to set things up, and the interview happened the following week. There were two separate interviews, both one-on-one. The whole thing took over four weeks to complete.
- Can you describe your experience with behavioral questions?
- How do you present yourself and your attitude during interviews?
Systems Analyst
It was a face-to-face interview with the current supervisor and the entire Continual Process Improvement team. They used to handle the technical part of the interview. I didn't have any issues, but after 3 months of working there, the supervisor and director either retired or moved to another role within Freddie Mac. I had to get used to new management who, in my opinion, didn't grasp our current mission, so they decided to change our focus and mission. The whole team was bummed out and important members started leaving the program.
- Describe your experience working with environments that were divided into 7 or 8 separate silo operations and trying to integrate them into a single large enterprise system.

Read reports →“Given that job descriptions might not accurately reflect the actual needs, it's advisable to ask for more details about the position during the interview rather than assuming the written description is precise. This approach helps resolve many misunderstandings, as job descriptions are often created by procurement teams and may not perfectly align with the requirements of the business group that the role directly supports.”
