I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (New York, NY) in Oct 2021

Overall a fine process - there's beauty in that, as an intern, they don't expect you to know all that much about finance. They are responsive, make the (difficult) company culture clear going in to things, and overall make the whole thing less painful than most internship interviews.

Question 1
Should universities charge the same for all degrees?
The round one is mostly behavioral questions. I did not get selected for round two. Questions were regarding leadership, teamwork and testing if you fit in their culture which is unique compared to most companies
I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (New York, NY)
Interview
Lots of philosophical questions. Very nice, and I enjoyed the bluntness. However, company seems a little lost without Dalio. It was nice to not have to be grilled on tech, but some topics weren't as exciting or navigable as others.
3 round process, heavily debate oriented with other candidates. No real way to prep for it other than being able to think critically and debate well. Would recommend studying case debate topics. Interviewers were very friendly.
