I applied through college or university. I interviewed at PENNYMAC (Pasadena, CA) in Sep 2020
Interview
easy and efficient. They move quick from round to round. Starts with a little IQ type test, then you start speaking with managers if you move on. Probably about 3-4 rounds until you either get an offer or they decide to move on.
