I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Fannie Mae
Interview
Heard from a recruiter first who mainly had me walk through my experience. Then had an interview with the hiring manager and was asked typical interview questions. Received an automated message from the portal a week later saying I was not selected.
I had a phone interview with a recruiter. Interview had gone great, she liked my experience, told me every detail about the position (which I was really excited for) and then discussed compensation. I thought it went great. She said I would hear from them in a few days. A week goes by and nothing so I emailed to follow up, no response. Called and left a voicemail, nothing. No call back, no email back, nothing. I guess the recruiters ghost you.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fannie Mae (Washington, DC)
Interview
Interviewed with 3 people including manager and director. Quick process 1-2 weeks from initial call and interviews. Interviewers like to see that you are a good fit and have similar past experiences. Most employees have long tenures at the company.
