I applied through other source. I interviewed at Vanguard
Interview
I was reached out to over LinkedIn. I had a over two years of work experience so we scheduled a phone interview. The phone interview was a lot of behavioral questions and STAR based, also questions about the company. They just want to see that you're high energy and excited about the company. At the end of the phone call we scheduled my in person interview. Between that time I had a phone call with the head recruiter to explain to me what I should prep for the interview. they give you a very thorough application process, they set you up to succeed. then I had an in person interview and role play. just focus on what the recruiter tells you to focus on and be friendly

Question 1
Name a time where you had to overcome an obstacle at school or work
The interview process took about two weeks from application to offer. After submitting my application, I completed an online writing assessment followed by a short questionnaire with around five basic investing-related questions. Next, an AI scheduling assistant helped me set up a 15–20 minute phone interview with a recruiter.
The recruiter was incredibly positive, welcoming, and encouraging. She immediately put me at ease, which helped boost my confidence and allowed me to present myself well during the interview.
After moving forward, I had a Microsoft Teams interview with the hiring manager, who was equally fantastic. He made me feel comfortable throughout the conversation, which was especially appreciated since I tend to experience interview anxiety.
Overall, the hiring process was smooth, well organized, and a genuinely positive experience from start to finish.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself. / How do you handle a difficult customer?
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.
