I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in Feb 2015
Interview
Great day of super interesting conversations. More about moral and philosophical questions than anything having to do with investment. Fun day that left me invigorated. Connected with a lot of the people I met with and got a great sense of what the work culture would be like.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What is the impact of immediate communication (email, text, etc) on human connection?
First round with HR.
Second round is a group discussion. Given a topic, there is no right or wrong. I think they are trying to understand your thinking process and how you deal with problems.
