I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Vanguard (Malvern, PA) in May 2012
Interview
The process took nearly 5 months, bounced around to different groups and HR reps and even given a start date then last minute just before the start date they "went in a different direction". They seemed like a great company but the hiring process is a mess and I hope to never go through that again.
