I applied online. I interviewed at Vanguard (Philadelphia, PA) in Jan 2021
Interview
The interview process at Vanguard is very unique. I did an initial meeting with a hiring manager who asked some very basic STAR and get-to-know-you questions. After that interview, I met with the same representative on a more informal call who gave me feedback for my first interview and helped me prepare for the next round. The second (final) interview consisted of a presentation followed by an hour long one on one interview with a different hiring manager. That interview was mostly focused on STAR questions. Overall, the hiring group gave a lot of feedback and was very supportive in the whole process.

Question 1
Tell Me about a time where you had to deliver bad news to a teammate or colleague
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.

The interview went great, and the interviewer was very helpful, respectful, and professional throughout the conversation, which made the experience feel comfortable, positive, and informative for me. I really enjoyed the feedback and the welcoming conversation we had.
The interview at Vanguard felt smooth, professional, and welcoming. Conversation flowed naturally, questions were clear, and the atmosphere stayed relaxed. I left feeling confident, prepared, motivated, and genuinely excited about the opportunity.
