I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Vanguard (Malvern, PA) in Oct 2018
Interview
I handed in my resume at a career fair and received an email within a week about scheduling a phone interview. The phone interview was simple and the woman was very encouraging and responsive. Started out with questions about my resume and then did a couple of behavioral questions. At the end of the call I was invited in for a recruitment event. There was about 30 other candidates there with me. They do an information session and then did the interview. The interview was a lot of behavioral questions so be prepared to have many scenarios to talk about. Overall everyone was super kind and helpful.
Over the phone for first round. Very friendly and felt more like a conversation at first, then came a few behavioral questions using the STAR method. Know the company and what sets them apart from others.
