I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (New York, NY)
Interview
It was a campus debate on a random topic. It's not really enjoyable much. If you have experience in debate, you'd be advantaged here, but I really don't get how this helps them find the right people.
everything sent in the email; just a group interview and we get to discuss some questions with each other. Had two people working there monitor us and guide (only if necessary). Question was mostly philosophical.
