I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Vanguard (Malvern, PA) in Nov 2015
Interview
Basic phone interview asking questions such as "what are stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and ETF's". Led to a face-to-face interview where you are interviewed, have to do a case study, and then take a simple exam. Overall not too difficult of a process for a pretty basic role. To my understanding it is a 12-18 month max position. Vanguard is known for keeping their employees happy and long tenures.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Vanguard (Charlotte, NC) in Aug 2021
Interview
The interview was a two step process, the phone screen was about 15 mins and they were mainly looking for clarity of your voice and if you are articulate. The virtual 1-on-1 interview was fairly easy, about 6 STAR-based questions regarding customer service, communication skills, and learning agility.
