      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Vanguard (Malvern, PA) in Nov 2012

      Interview

      Interview process included an initial application followed by a phone interview. The phone interview was a basic screening process around past experience, future goals and career objectives. Following the phone interview I was contacted saying that I would be brought to the Vanguard campus to take place in a full day interview. That interview consisted of an information session, breakout sessions, three back to back 1-1 interviews and a debate table with other candidates.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe a time when you were challenged. How did you approach the challenge?
      Answer question

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Vanguard in Nov 2020

      Interview

      Interviewer was pretty condescending during interview and did not seem to care about your answers and was only there to check the boxes. later received message that they would be pursuing more qualified candidates

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Vanguard (Malvern, PA) in Sep 2020

      Interview

      I received a phone call almost a month after applying. This screening interview led to a virtual Superday. The Superday includes two one-hour interviews and they both may be situational and technical. Afterwards, there are a few company presentations and a round table with 5-6 other candidates where you discuss a question related to Vanguard provided 3 days in advance.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What are some of Vanguard's main expenses and revenues? What is Net Asset Value (NAV)? What is an asset, liability, and equity? Difference between an ETF and mutual fund? Give me names of different stocks. Other situational questions where you need to highlight your leadership.

      I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Vanguard (Malvern, PA) in Nov 2013

      Interview

      Phone interview with recruiter followed by on campus full day interviews, etc. 2 1 hour interviews and case study on ETFs. Pretty straight forward behavioral questions. Make sure you know what makes Vanguard unique, and show them that you align with their culture. Very competitive program so make sure to do whatever it takes to set yourself apart.
