I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates in Feb 2014
Interview
There was a meet and greet event the night before - not super important to go to imo. Asked to bring a topic to a group interview. My interview was only 2 candidates, but that was because someone scheduled did not show up. They randomly select one person's topic and you discuss it for ~50 min. The interviewers moderate the discussion - the two present for my interview were both philosophy majors and they would probe your answers pretty in depth. Barely asked any questions about resume - only briefly in the last 5 minutes. With such a unique company culture, they're really looking for fit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Not the main discussion point, but when we went around introducing ourselves, they asked what our favorite book was.
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.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates in Dec 2023

Interviewer was unprofessional and rude, kept on interrupting me and distorting my points. Absolute waste of my time
