I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Vanguard Direct (New York, NY)
Interview
The interview process here was conducted poorly and left me with an overall negative view of the company. After about 4 interviews, which also included an in-office interview that lasted 2 hours, I didn't receive the common courtesy to say "thank you for your time, however, we have chosen another candidate". I thought it was unprofessional to speak poorly of your current employees to a candidate you are interviewing. It was at that very moment I knew that if extended an offer I would have declined. There was also disorganization that happened during the process such as (receiving a call and being referred to by another candidate's name ). I felt overall, like too many balls were being dropped in the process. I have had maybe 10+ interviews in the last two months and have since accepted an offer. I rely on Glassdoor to conduct my own research on companies and felt I had to return to share my experience as well.
Went through 4 rounds of interviews before I landed the position. Each time was with a different member of senior management. More or less asking if I would be able to handle the fast pace environment and if I'm familiar with their expertise.
I applied online. I interviewed at Vanguard Direct (New York, NY) in Jun 2017
Interview
I applied and interviewed for the promotional inside sales position. First off, AMY (THE HR REP) YOU WERE AMAZING! I met with the ceo, the Coo and the business development manager. Even though I may not have been chosen for the position, (which was disappointing to say the least) management was very professional and it appeared like a great company. Normally I don't post reviews, however I believe giving credit when due. Nonetheless this experience has given me the motivation to start my own promotional product company and I definitely have to thank Vanguard for this motivation!!!!! Nonetheless, it was a positive experience all around! It made me realize I still have a lot to learn in the business.
