I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fannie Mae
Interview
Apply -> Phone -> Final -> Offer
Phone is chill, just behavior with a recruiter to see if you're socially competent and actually know what Fannie Mae does.
Final round wasn't too easy honestly. No Leetcode, but after ~10 mins of Fannie Mae and behavioral, the tech trivia was very in depth. It was all doable though. Ended the interview with a riddle question not related to computer science.

First round is behavioral - 25 to 30 minutes, asking about yourself, strenghts, weaknesses
Second round is behavioral/technical - no coding questions but whatever is put on resume is fair game.
