Freddie Mac interview preparation

Walk into Freddie Mac prepared.
Know what it looks for.

Freddie Mac (the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation) is a government-sponsored enterprise chartered by Congress in 1970 to provide liquidity, stability, and affordability to the U.S. housing finance market. Freddie Mac doesn't lend directly to consumers — it purchases mortgages from smaller banks, credit unions, and savings institutions, then packages them into mortgage-backed securities to recycle capital back into the lending system. Behavioral interviews at Freddie Mac emphasize mission alignment, integrity, collaboration, and the unique demands of working at a GSE in conservatorship that's preparing for a potential 2026 IPO under new CEO Kenny Smith.
