I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Vanguard (Charlotte, NC) in Nov 2022
Interview
The Vanguard interview process was structured and professional, with multiple rounds assessing technical skills, problem-solving, and cultural fit. Clear communication, prompt feedback, and behavioral questions make for a thorough but fair experience.
Initial hacker rank test. One hour, 10 to 15 questions. 4 basic SQL questions. 1 more intermediate, but ran out of time. The other remaining questions were multiple choice about statistics and hypothesis testing, and also some with basic math.
If you pass hacker rank, it led to a case study interview, but not really about statistics. It aligns with a McKinsey case study type interview, about profit, metrics, is this good or bad, etc...
