3 interviews on campus. Fairly easy process. Spoke with a variety of people individually and in groups. Entry level position that was primarily client facing via telephone. They asked more about general knowledge of the financial industry.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Vanguard (Charlotte, NC) in Oct 2020
Interview
I joined Vanguard right out of college. My first interview was actually at the college I went to. It wasn't necessarily an interview but meeting with a recruiter. Then I applied online and had a phone interview which included testing my basic knowledge of investing. Then I was put in a hotel in Charlotte to interview in person with a manager.

Question 1
What is the difference between a stock and a bond?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Vanguard (Scottsdale, AZ) in Jan 2016
Interview
It was a three week process in which it consisted of two phone interviews and a four hour in-person portion. The four hour portion consists of an informative group session in which your are encouraged to asked questions, but this has no impact on your recruitment. The two portions that actually matter (as the 4th segment is simply a skills assessment that recruiters cannot even look at) are the role-play portion, and the behavior based interview.
