I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Wilton, CT) in May 2015
Interview
Confusing and drawn out. People were nice but I spent seven hours at the campus without even a clear idea of what job I was interviewing for. Group discussion is interesting idea, but you'll also spend a significant period of time watching videos about the company. I found them interesting, but some may find them an unnecessary waste of time. Coordinators of the interview were helpful and kind, and a delicious lunch was served.

Interview
The process is lengthy, designed to throw candidates off and involves spending hours talking personality tests, reviewing materials and watching videos. There was a "life interview", a group interview, a mock client interview, and Q&A.

Interview
Fairly long process, received a message from a recruiter, recruiter then did his/her thing and got me an interview at BW a few weeks later after I took an online personality test.
Interview at Bridgewater lasted all day and was fairly easy going. Discussion/Case Study/Regular interview. Basically there is no prep you can do - if you are a good fit you'll make it. If not, you'll know fairly quickly.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Wilton, CT) in Apr 2016
Interview
It was lengthy but it seemed like they took the time to really get to know you. It was an all day thing but they had lunch for you, it was set up into three parts where they tested out more of the way you think than the knowledge or skills that you had. that made me feel better about it all because they were basing it on the way that you thought not what you knew.
