I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Stamford, CT) in Oct 2019
Interview
Had a first round in person interview, then was flown out to CT for a second in-person interview. Both consisted of 1-on-1 and group interviews with the other candidates, and both processes lasted a couple hours. 1-on-1 is with a Bridgewater employee talking about a certain topic of interest, and the group interviews are just like discussion panels with the other interviewees to see who pulls out good insights from a general conversation on a topic.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Generally varies, just discussion based, want to know how you think. Eg. How would you reform the current education system/university admissions.
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.
