I applied online. I interviewed at Vanguard (Malvern, PA) in May 2021
Interview

If applicable, virtual interview follows. This starts off with a group presentation that goes more in-depth about job specifics and the company itself. Same day at specified time, 1:1 interview with team leader. Here you want to be more specific with your answers and the STAR questions can be more complicated, yet specific.
