Interviewed Oct 2011 in Scottsdale, AZ (took 2 months)
I applied through my university website and also applied on Vanguard's website. I got a call about 2 weeks later for a phone interview. The phone interview was normal, STAR response behavioral questions and some background on why I wanted to work for Vanguard and just general fit questions. I was contacted 2 weeks later to a Student Visit Day. This is the final round of interviews and is an entire 8am-3pm day. The day consisted of two 1 on 1 interviews that were each one hour long. They were very intensive and fast paced, once again STAR response. The rest of the day was spent with breakfast and lunch with senior managers, and then there was a group "activity" at the end. It was a very pleasant experience.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Non negotiable, but with the salary, benefits, work life balance, and everything else that Vanguard offers I probably wouldn't have attempted to increase salary anyway.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Scottsdale, AZ (took 2 weeks)
First you need to pass a phone interview, which basically consist of questions regarding your resume. then they will set up an in person interview if you pass the screening. My in person interview was almost 3 hr long. I was interviewed by 3 individuals. they asked me lots of situational questions, which wasn't that bad. Overall experience was positive. The interviewers were very friendly, one of my most enjoyable interviews so far.

I first had a phone interview with an HR recruiter, then an interview with a manager from the actual department. Both interviewers were very personable. Behavioral based questions. Seem to follow the STAR format.

Good hiring process. Hiring manager was pleasant, very formal. Asked phone interview questions on top of group and one on one interviews. Was introduced to the entire work process early on, and I knew what the job entailed.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Scottsdale, AZ (took 1 week)
I was contacted to schedule a phone interview about 2 weeks after submitting my application online. The phone interview was basically 4 or 5 behavioral questions. A week later I did an in person interview. I was interviewed by two different people and in between I had a case study to work on. These interviews were also mainly behavioral questions. They have forms they work off of for the interview so you could be asked the same questions in both interviews. They tell you if you want to give the same answer though that that is okay. At the end I was given a tour of the office. Apparently they have had some employs in the past start the job without realizing they would be working in a call center and then quitting immediately, so they want people to see what it is like now. It seems like a pretty nice facility and it seemed like everyone was pretty friendly and said hello to each other.

There is not really any room for negotiation. They tell you what you will be doing and how much they will pay you for it and you either accept or decline.
