I applied through other source. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in Feb 2015
Interview
The interview process at Bridgewater is like none other. They are very proud of themselves for this. I took a series of personality tests, watched culture videos and even an independent case study of Bridgewater. All in all I would say I spent well over six hours preparing for each interview visit. The purpose of all of this was to make sure I understood the uniqueness of their work environment. After two in-house interviews (which lasted all day), meeting with four departments, and over fifteen people, I was invited for a third interview, which I asked to be conducted by phone since I lived a distance away. I felt as this stage quite confident that it was a good fit for my career goals.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about an altercation you had with a boss or superior.
flat, didn't ask job-related questions, not sure if I did well. Haha. I didn't get the offer in the end anyways. It is strange they spent so much effort trying to find an admin assistant.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Stamford, CT) in Apr 2019
Interview
They strung me along for two months.
Group interview and multiple 1:1 interviews, plus zoom (video) interviews. I drove to both Stamford and Norwalk locations. After they rejected me, I learned that they knew from the second case study (and survey) I had done that they did not want me.
They still wasted my time and had me come in for at least 2-3 more interviews with the teams.
I must've been a 'practice' for the trainees to interview. Don't waste your time here. They play games and string you along.
They are horrible at responding to emails throughout the process.

Interview
Informative and straight-forward. You are not entered into a position without all knowledge of responsibilities, culture, and more. The screening helps cut out those who would not fit into the company.
