I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in Jan 2016
Interview
I received an email from a Bridgewater recruiter to apply for a position. I made it through the initial process and had a first round interview. It was a group interview and made me feel fairly uncomfortable with the way that they wanted to know if I would be able to handle the intensity of the job and the intense, competitive culture there. As well as the debate with other students, which became too much for me.

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.

Interview
series of 1:1 interviews covering my thinking process, personal experience and life decisions, and future goals; group debate on an issue; external phone call IQ-like assessment resulting in an objective score
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.
