I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Vanguard
Interview
It was a phone interview. Asked basic questions like why was I interested in the company, salary, past experiences, etc. They followed it up with specific java related questions and experience working in groups. Overall wasn't bad and the recruiter was very polite.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What does .equals do/mean
What is garbage collection
How do you concatenate strings
This was pre-pandemic but
1 - 3 coding questions sent via email
2 - phone interview where they ask behavioral questions
3 - onsite interview. They pay for your hotel, lasts from around 8 AM - 2PM . Asked technical, behavioral and given powerpoints on what to expect with the company.
However, they claimed you get reimbursed for traveling expenses and that it would take 4-6 weeks. It's been 3 months and I still haven't been reimbursed. Tried contacting, lady said she'd give reimbursement the following Monday, she never did and now she never responds. False promises early makes me believe this is a scam company.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Vanguard (Charlotte, NC) in Aug 2018
Interview
Super day with two interviews and presentations. One technical and one more behavioral. Tech interview included a case study that was kind of just a programming question. Basically, "How would you implement this feature". Wouldn't sorry too much about it.

What is a pointer? What is a stack and how would you use one? How would you tell if two strings are permutations?

Included a phone interview with technical questions and an onsite interview that covered both technical and personality questions. The technical and personality questions were split into two separate interviews. They also provided breakfast with current employees that "wasn't part of the interview".
