Interviewed Apr 2010 (took 2 weeks)
I had applied online on the fannie mae career website. I was contacted by an Recruiter from fannie mae 3 weeks after i applied. He seemed nice and asked general questions about my background and informed me the job i had applied and scheduled an interview with the team for which the positions was. The interview was technical and generally consisted of general questions. He also asked me few technical questions and if i had applied any of the softwares i had learnt in actual jobs. The interviewer although i felt was less interactive.I would recommend get your financial basics clear if your applying here. I guess that is of prime importance

Interviewed May 2010 (took 2 weeks)
The process took two weeks. I had a phone interview with the recruiter who was very nice. It took sometime to schedule the interviews due to the busy schedules. The in-person interviews according to me went very well, I answered all the questions. The questions were pretty straight forward. The work environment also looked good.

Interviewed May 2010 in Washington, DC (took a day)
I had a feeling that I was not qualified for the job because I did not have a technical background, but the contact person in HR insisted that I would do fine. My background is largely in loan origination, loan servicing, and default operations. The position required someone who had experience with the Software Development Life Cycle and experience with SAS or SQL. I had neither. The first question had to do with whether I used the software development life cyle methodology in my day-to-day life. I did not. Since I didn't, the interview came to a screeching halt.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Dallas, TX (took 1 week)
Initial interview questions consisted of detailed breakdown of methodology and process. Previous experience with Mortgage Industry is important. Final interview tested my general knowledge of the competitive landscape and my awareness of trends and activities in the industry. Questions in general were very engaging and thought provoking. It is important to prepare for each state of the interview process.

Interviewed Jun 2008 (took a day)
I spoke with the recruiter and we scheduled an entire afternoon (after lunch) to interview with two business areas for a manager position that I currently held elsewhere. First thoughts: Most were very friendly, offices were pristine, people interacted with each other in the hallways...didn't see anything that would suggest this wasn't a place I wouldn't want to work at.

Reason for Declining
It wasn't conveyed to me that I was applying for multiple positions, some of which were less desirable.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Reston, VA (took 3 weeks)
Initial phone screen with one of the risk managers. Discussed background, technical skills and why I wanted to leave old company. Face to face interview included management and technical team. I was asked stress questions about it risk, why I choose the career particular path that I choose, e.g going from technical position to a risk management position.
Advice would be to be well versed in technical and risk side of things. Also stress to the interviewers that you are willing to work long hours under deadlines.
