I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in Oct 2012
Interview
Read interview posts here and ready for unusual tactics for the phone interview. Was surprised as it was a normal interview. Technical questions and then job wa.s explained in great detail. I was told I receive a call from my recruiter. Interviewee also said that their enviromnet is different and it does promote independent thinking which some people don't like.

They asked, in the coding interview, to Code Battleship.
Took a hacker rank coding challenge. The hacker rank coding challenge is allocated a duration of hours equivalent to 2 weeks but does not necessarily require the whole two weeks to be solved, i.e. can be completed in the less than the completed time.
