Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
I was called by someone in the PA office and I was asked questions like ( or something to the effect of) 1) What 4 things do you look for in a job 2) What type of salary are you looking for. 3) how did I go above and beyond the call of duty, 4) What do you know about the company. Majority of the conversation was based on how if you were to obtain the position you would have to take a test called the Series 7 or Series 6. If you fail the test you will be terminated.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Charlotte, NC (took 2 days)
I applied on-line at the Vanguard site. Was contacted by emal just a couple of days later to schedule a time for a phone interview. The phone interview was with a recruiter located in Pennsylvania. She was very nice. Took about 25 mins or so. I was then contacted about a day or two later to schedule a date and time to interview at the Charlotte location. Interview consisted of two parts. First a 1 on 1 that took about an hour. Went over resume/work history then he asked about 6 or 7 questions from a format that he was following. Not very difficult. Be honest. Second part also took about an hour. Was given a case study to review for about 10 mins. Then had to role play it with a manager while another managed looked on and took notes. Everyone was very nice.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Charlotte, NC (took 2 weeks)
stared with a basic phone screen then asked to come in for face to face. Tough interview started with a 1:1 basic background questions, what do you know about the company, (they have a wealth of info on there website just look aorund as if you were a potential client) point out particulars that interest you. Interview then moved to bahavioral questions about 8 be detailed following the STAR format lasted roughly an hour with front line manager, i was then given a quick break and given a case study with 15 minutes to come up with a game plan and asked to role play with another front line manger while another manager sat through the interaction taking notes (1:2) they wanted to see how you would handle a rather diffucult customer situation. They like when you asked questiions specifically a question that they have never received. Asked where i though i did well, and what were some opportunity areas be honest, its just to see if you are coachable. GOOD LUCK!+
oh yeah remember to turn your phone on silent i had a gaff but fortunately i still got the offer!

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Malvern, PA (took 3 weeks)
Vanguard reps came to my college career fair. Luckily senior IT managers were there filling in interview slots. I had my first round interview 2 weeks after the fair. It was an easy one on one behavioral interview asking similar questions. I got a call 2 days later to come to HQ in a week for final round interview. It was a full day consisting of company presentation by the CTO, 2 one on one interviews and a group problem solving exercise. The one on ones were again behavioral but focused more on my past experiences and how I can adapt to certain difficult situations. They also went through my technical skills I listed on my resume. Alot of questions were emphasized on teamwork skills. Vanguard follows STAR format. Both interviewers had the same set of questions given to them by HR. The group exercise was mainly to choose as a group top items essential to take on a trip to a desert. The whole interview process went smoothly. All my interviewers were very warm, friendly and spoke endlessly about their positive experiences with Vanguard. I got an offer 5 days later.
