I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (New York, NY) in Oct 2013
Interview
first round was group interview, fairly low stress but somewhat competitive. second round was four interviews: one long group interview with a big group - good moderators but environment forced candidates to say things without thinking; one two-on-one interview about personal life which was kind of intimidating; one phone interview about various topics related to my major; one two-on-one about problem solving
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
HR related general questions. Philosophy-like topic.
HR screen about you and your background, group discussion where you discuss an abstract philosophical question (e.g do you tax happiness, if you could make everyone believe one fact what would it be), analytical interview

Question 1
You are netflix trying to figure out how much to pay for a new show/how much it's worth, what do you do
Analytical debate and then further rounds discussing quantitative problems, analytical studies, etc. etc. around 4 to 5 rounds in total and also questions on resume and experience etc etc. not super chill or super intensive, nothing much else to add
