      Financial Associate Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Vanguard (Malvern, PA)

      Interview

      There was a brief phone interview that asked behavioral STAR format questions about how you handled tough situations in previous jobs. Next, it took them over a month to schedule my 8 hour group interview. They gave us team building exercises and watched us intently. They also listened to our conversations with recent new hires. They encouraged us to let our guard down but they don't actually mean that. Essentially they want a very specific type of person that they can mold to their weird corporate culture. Everyone is very underpaid and they avoid conversations about salary. They think their culture is enough to keep people around.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about a time where you missed a deadline. How did you handle it?
