I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Freddie Mac (McLean, VA) in March 2017.
Interview
Pre-screening by phone interview. A series of 45 minute interviews followed by a short presentation on campus visit. Interviewers were super-nice. You should know OLS, IV, Logistic Regression by heart. In addition, some questions involved personality and hypothetical real-life situations.
