I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Stamford, CT) in Nov 2014
Interview
Sent in an application online, and got an invitation to their office in Connecticut two weeks later. Had one session of group discussion on a philosophical question that they ask you to bring in, and two one-on-one interviews. They were interviewing for both management and investment associates; it felt like one interview was investing related and one was management related. In between they provided lunch. Everything was recorded, but they tended to be good natured.

Question 1
The questions were personal, related to my experience, and not really finance related.
I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT)
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.

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.
