About the Company

This has afforded the company the opportunity to make decisions based on client feedback and maintain lower investment fees for clients.

Intern Reviews


  • “The culture at Vanguard is so welcoming and friendly. Everyone is rooting for each other to succeed. There is also fantastic work-life balance that I know extends past the internship into full-time roles as well.”
  • “Work environment/culture was interactive, positive, genuine, and filled with Vanguard acumen. 37.5 hours per week. Work-life balance HEAVILY emphasized.”
  • “I worked a reasonable number of hours, and while I did have a set schedule, my team was understanding and flexible, and if my schedule needed to be modified, there was no problem with that. I think this also contributed to a healthy work-life balance because there was no expectation to do work outside of your hours, and you could modify your hours as needed to accommodate life.”
  • “The company culture is truly amazing; the people here really care. The work-life balance is great, and the hybrid work setting is the right balance for my role.”

Getting Hired Here


  • “The hiring process for this internship was pleasant and quick. The initial application is streamlined, and I love the structure of having a phone screen and super-day only. Overall, the process took two weeks once I was contacted for the phone screen. Also, the recruiters are so kind and easy to talk to!”
  • “The hiring process was lengthy, however, it was also a smooth process. I went through a total of 3 interviews (phone screening, behavioral, technical). The interviewers were respectful, patient, and excited to hear my thoughts.”
  • “The interviews were fair but competitive. They want to make sure you'll be a good fit before investing so much into your success.”
  • “The interview process was difficult in that you had to be prepared for them, but by no means stressful or irrelevant to the job requirements. I think they were selective but not based on any one qualification, each intern seemed to offer a unique perspective.”
