I applied online. I interviewed at Vanguard (Malvern, PA) in May 2025
Interview
Vanguard uses "Ava", a communication and scheduling tool, which, for the most part, works well but has its limitations. Internal recruiters, interviewers were all great to speak with and very knowledgeable and transparent about the roles and expectations. Difficult to get in due to much promotion internally, and must be a culture fit for certain.
