I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Swarthmore, PA) in Mar 2018
Interview
The process is as follows: CV application, talk with HR manager about potential positions, talk with two mentors about technical questions. The two mentors I had were both engineers. They first described Bridgewater and its training process. They next gave me a technical questions and asked me to think out loud. When I got stuck they gave me tips about how to proceed.

My interview process was a three-stage process. A basic screening interview where I spoke about my prior experiences and analyzed a relatively straightforward algorithms problem, but very much in depth. The second interview had a harder algorithms question, and a group philosophical discussion. I had a third interview (I believe my technical chops were still somewhat lacking after the second technical question) where the interviewer and I had a discussion about modeling (which was surprisingly really fun)!
