I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Vanguard in Oct 2016
Interview
The process itself was long - mostly consisting of presentations from internal employees regarding benefits and the culture. There was a group activity, a separate group discussion on something completely different, and two interviews. One of the interviews was entirely behavioral and the other was a case study. For the most part, as stated in other interviews here, they appear to be looking for the right "fit" in their culture.
