I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Vanguard (Scottsdale, AZ) in Jan 2017
Interview
Star questions. Be prepared with answers in that format. There was a phone interview then a two hour interview one in a group and one one-one. This was difficult but once you are there usually people are nice. Security is intense and annoying.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you worked as a team and one member wasn’t pulling their weight, how did you handle it and what was the outcome.
It was a three step process, first was the virtual assement where you answered pratice situational questions and then a 30 min phone call with headqauters and finally a thirty minute zoom with the local office.

Question 1
They asked about situation in my priouos jobs such as how a handled difficult customer
The interview process took about two weeks from application to offer. After submitting my application, I completed an online writing assessment followed by a short questionnaire with around five basic investing-related questions. Next, an AI scheduling assistant helped me set up a 15–20 minute phone interview with a recruiter.
The recruiter was incredibly positive, welcoming, and encouraging. She immediately put me at ease, which helped boost my confidence and allowed me to present myself well during the interview.
After moving forward, I had a Microsoft Teams interview with the hiring manager, who was equally fantastic. He made me feel comfortable throughout the conversation, which was especially appreciated since I tend to experience interview anxiety.
Overall, the hiring process was smooth, well organized, and a genuinely positive experience from start to finish.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself. / How do you handle a difficult customer?
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.
