I had three rounds with them. Communication was poor - the person holding my second round interview completely forgot about the meeting and was completely unapologetic about asking me to reschedule the next day. The hiring manager asked for my availability for a third interview and then ghosted me for three weeks, only later saying the interview was off due to "scheduling conflicts." Really left a bad taste in my mouth about the company.

Question 1
What do you know about European politics? If you were an investor how would you advise in terms in investing in Europe right now (Germany, Netherlands)
I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT)
Interview
Very in-depth and intense. Technical aspect was not too difficult and is somewhat abstract, but behavioral interview and exercise is very direct. They really want to get down to the most granular elements of what makes you tick and your philosophical approach to work and the world at large.
