I joined Vanguard right out of college. My first interview was actually at the college I went to. It wasn't necessarily an interview but meeting with a recruiter. Then I applied online and had a phone interview which included testing my basic knowledge of investing. Then I was put in a hotel in Charlotte to interview in person with a manager.

It was a three week process in which it consisted of two phone interviews and a four hour in-person portion. The four hour portion consists of an informative group session in which your are encouraged to asked questions, but this has no impact on your recruitment. The two portions that actually matter (as the 4th segment is simply a skills assessment that recruiters cannot even look at) are the role-play portion, and the behavior based interview.
