      Client Relationship Associate Interview

      Jul 16, 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Scottsdale, AZ
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Vanguard (Scottsdale, AZ) in Jan 2017

      Interview

      Star questions. Be prepared with answers in that format. There was a phone interview then a two hour interview one in a group and one one-one. This was difficult but once you are there usually people are nice. Security is intense and annoying.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about a time you worked as a team and one member wasn’t pulling their weight, how did you handle it and what was the outcome.

      Malvern, PA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Vanguard (Malvern, PA)

      Interview

      The interview process took about two weeks from application to offer. After submitting my application, I completed an online writing assessment followed by a short questionnaire with around five basic investing-related questions. Next, an AI scheduling assistant helped me set up a 15–20 minute phone interview with a recruiter. The recruiter was incredibly positive, welcoming, and encouraging. She immediately put me at ease, which helped boost my confidence and allowed me to present myself well during the interview. After moving forward, I had a Microsoft Teams interview with the hiring manager, who was equally fantastic. He made me feel comfortable throughout the conversation, which was especially appreciated since I tend to experience interview anxiety. Overall, the hiring process was smooth, well organized, and a genuinely positive experience from start to finish.

      Over the phone for first round. Very friendly and felt more like a conversation at first, then came a few behavioral questions using the STAR method. Know the company and what sets them apart from others.
