Phone interview that was conversational and had regular behavioral questions with some more technical questions (about risk/security) mixed in.

The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Vanguard in Nov 2023
Interview
I did their online coding challenge (the same exam 3 times for 3 different roles, it didn't carry over). I got every question right and passed every test case but didn't move on. Clearly they don't respect their applicants' time
Had to take a coding test, then was given a standard phone screen. Received another phone interview before being invited to a "super day." Overall, the process was great, and the super day was structured well.
