Why you want to work there
Vanguard is committed to supporting the professional and personal growth of the people who make up its "crews" (its term for teams of employees). In IT, for example, the tech crew is empowered to solve problems and drive business outcomes, rather than simply delivering solutions based on a set of requirements. The Malvern, Pa.-based financial services firm uses lean methodology to help foster a culture of testing and learning in which employees feel free to experiment and innovate. To further nurture a culture of collaboration, flexibility and creativity, Vanguard offers educational programs and organizes initiatives such as hackathons.
