I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Fannie Mae (Plano, TX) in Jun 2018
Interview
Easy process, great communication through it, very transparent. Interviewed with several managers prior to final interview with VP. VP interview was easy. All questions I had were answered. Fannie values work life balance
It was a multi-step process where you first had a phone screen, meet with several team members, other interdepartmental stakeholders, and then the leadership. It was about a 2.5 month process due to scheduling.
I applied online. I interviewed at Fannie Mae (Washington, DC) in Dec 2025
Interview
Initial recruiter call, followed by two 30-minute Zoom interviews with the managers. The process was very accommodating, with questions focused on how relevant my experience is to the role. No technical questions -primarily conceptual and experience-based.

Question 1
I was asked how I handle completely new situations and adapt to unfamiliar challenges.
In late 2022, for a lead role in finance, I had a technical focused interview and a behavioral focused interview, as first round. Then the next/last round was with the Director of the team.

In my behavioral, they asked for me to give an analogy to simply explain to business what RCSA was (risk position) and how it works.
