Interview process was pretty straight forward. Three rounds with the first being a general HR, the second was a coding assessment, and the third was a person from the division or team you might be placed in.

Difficult interview
Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Vanguard (Plano, TX) in May 2023
Interview
Submit application first, if selected by a recruiter then you will get a phone screen. Phone screen is basically a behavioral interview. If they like you and you do good on the phone screen, you will get an invite to their "interview day". On "interview day" you will first meet with another recruiter to give you a schedule of how the day will go, they also provide this schedule a few days before the interviews. You will be given a coding challenge and will have 30 minutes to complete, after someone will show up for a behavioral interview, and someone else for the technical interview. The technical interview will be questions about the coding challenge you received. After the technical interview, you will have to go to another room for the Q&A forum for other software engineers, and lastly they will give you an overview of company. Everything was done virtually, via Microsoft teams.
