I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Vanguard (Malvern, PA) in Apr 2016
Interview
The process took 2+ weeks. Started with a phone interview, questions containing basic java terminology questions. Followed by on-site interview (travel expenses covered) after a week which was from 7:45 AM - 1:00 PM. First, couple hours is presentations. Second, case study. Third, The hiring manger interview. He literally told me that he has a set of questions to ask, but he won't ask me that. Instead, he asked me really basic level java concept questions. Also, on the career website there isn't noted anywhere to have experience in server or database. It's a 0-1 years of experience in Java. Even though it said that, the hiring manager told me that were looking for candidates who can work on server side and knows the process to get and set from a server. After that, there was behavioral STAR like questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is Polymorphism? Steps on how to connect to a server using Java?
This was pre-pandemic but
1 - 3 coding questions sent via email
2 - phone interview where they ask behavioral questions
3 - onsite interview. They pay for your hotel, lasts from around 8 AM - 2PM . Asked technical, behavioral and given powerpoints on what to expect with the company.
However, they claimed you get reimbursed for traveling expenses and that it would take 4-6 weeks. It's been 3 months and I still haven't been reimbursed. Tried contacting, lady said she'd give reimbursement the following Monday, she never did and now she never responds. False promises early makes me believe this is a scam company.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Vanguard (Charlotte, NC) in Aug 2018
Interview
Super day with two interviews and presentations. One technical and one more behavioral. Tech interview included a case study that was kind of just a programming question. Basically, "How would you implement this feature". Wouldn't sorry too much about it.

I applied through university. I interviewed at Vanguard
Interview
Included a phone interview with technical questions and an onsite interview that covered both technical and personality questions. The technical and personality questions were split into two separate interviews. They also provided breakfast with current employees that "wasn't part of the interview".
