Analyst at Freddie Mac
No Offer – Interviewed in McLean, VA Sep 2010 – Reviewed Oct 4, 2010
Interview Details – This was a very basic behavioral interview. I hate this type of interview because there is practically no way to measure performance. I interviewed one week ago, so I am still waiting to hear back. The questions were fairly basic, such as: "Tell me about a problem you faced and the solution." I'd rather do a case interview, at least they show if someone is smart enough to be an analyst.

Analyst at Freddie Mac
No Offer – Interviewed in Mar 2011 – Reviewed Jun 13, 2011
Interview Details – Attended Freddie Day after an on-campus interview (~30 min). On Freddie Day had about 3 interviews that lasted approx 30 min each. There seemed to be a lot of uncertainty regarding the nature of the program I was applying for, and one of the interviewers had only been with the company for a week. Interviews consisted of typical questions about group work habits, research experiences listed on resume, etc. There were also questions related to my major (how do you check for normality of model errors?) and other questions like "What do you think of the financial crisis? Whose fault was it?"
Interview Question – How would you explain multicollinearity to a client that does not have an extensive background in statistics? Answer Question

Interview Details – The interview process is not very intense. It begins with a phone screen. Most of the questions are behavioral in nature. A few times I was asked technical questions that were testing my knowledge of how changes in asset values are reflected on the balance sheet and income statements.
Interview Question – If there are changes in value of our assets where will you see the changes? View Answer
