A HackerRank was sent immediately after I applied. It contained 3 multiple choice questions on a coding language, and 3 prompts for coding. The time allowed is more than enough and the coding environment has auto complete set to on. Make sure you have the basics down and you understand the prompt before coding.

I applied online and got selected for an initial interview. It was a phone interview, I was asked questions about my experience listed on the resume and behavioral interview questions. After passing the phone interview, I was asked to come in for an in-person interview. The interview started with a presentation to me and other interview candidates about Vanguard and their culture. We were then given two tasks. The first one was a group task, we were given a list of items and told to select 10 items from the list for a survival scenario. The second task was an individual task where we were come up with a strategy to design and implement a feature on their webpage. These tasks were followed by two one on one interviews with the leaders of two different teams. Most of the questions were behavioral in the first interview. The second interview was more technical where specific questions about java were asked and the details of the individual task were discussed. We then had lunch with previous interns who went through the same program. It was then followed by a group discussion about a topic that was chosen before the interview.
