      Two step process, requires understanding of STAR method and well rounded knowledge of Vanguard's business functions and how one might apply them in a technical setting. The superday is quite long, so drink your coffee and lock in.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Vanguard (Pittsburgh, PA) in Oct 2023

      Interview

      Starts with uploading CV, 2 phone calls, then superday. Recruiter was super kind. First interview had a question asking what Vanguard does and what’s their biggest threat besides the usual TMAY and Why Vanguard. Also had STAR based questions so have past examples ready. Superday had case studies. From what I recall, no technicals, only just 3 case studies with 3 different MDs.

      Question 1

      What’s Vanguard’s biggest threat or competition?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Tell me a time where you worked on a team and you had to deal with a lazy member. How did you communicate with them.
