I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Princeton, NJ) in Feb 2016
Interview
Very different from other interviews - had you talk about your personal life via Sonru, fill out a ton of personality tests, and showcase your "discussion skills" in an open-ended debate-style discussion where the interviewers mainly watched, sometimes interjecting to keep things on pace. It felt kind of weird because there were certain people who were eager to talk and talked over others, but I wasn't sure if that was something they liked or disliked. Overall, it was hard to tell what they were looking for, and whether or not what they were looking for would actually be shown through the open group discussion.

Interview
There were multiple rounds of interview. Largely a test on culture fit, and overall it is what is to be expected if you prepare and do your research. I enjoyed the process.

Interview
series of 1:1 interviews covering my thinking process, personal experience and life decisions, and future goals; group debate on an issue; external phone call IQ-like assessment resulting in an objective score
Interesting interview, round table discussion with high caliber talent. I had a series of 2 interviews, and then a interview with a group. The topic of conversation was unexpected but it was great to hear everyones perspectives and witness first hand the radical transparency appraoch.
