I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Wilton, CT)
Interview
First interview was a phone interview and basically focused on them making sure I was a right fit for their culture. Asked a lot about why I chose what school I attended for undergrad, and about my job experience. Second interview was their "blitz" interview onsite at their office. The interview was 3 parts, one about my background where they pried into my choices and really dug into things I brushed over but didn't plan to talk a lot about. The second part was about the culture and philosophy there and questions revolving around that and the third part was a case study pertaining to a scenario that might come up as recruiting coordinator. Each part was 45 minutes long and interviewers came to me, while I stayed in one room. My head hunter was contacted later that day informing him that they would like to hire me.

Question 1
Interview was not very difficult. Typical questions like why Bridgewater, past experience, about me, etc.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in Mar 2013
Interview
Watched some culture tapes and then spoke with 2 interviewers. Did a couple of case studies. Cultural fit is most important to them (at least for this position). No matter how good you are at what you do, if you don't spend enough time thinking and enjoy the thinking process, you'll probably have a hard time working there - they told me this right after the interview that I won't fit in their culture. I don't completely agree with what they say, but I think it's good that they're being so honest, saves time for each other.
