I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT)
Interview
I didn't make it past the phone interview. Before the phone interview, I was required to watch all of these culture videos from the website. The recruiter was very nice and helpful. It was standard, interview questions, but they kept rescheduling the dates to come in for one. It turned me off, so I stopped returning the emails.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How did you handle confrontation from a supervisor?
flat, didn't ask job-related questions, not sure if I did well. Haha. I didn't get the offer in the end anyways. It is strange they spent so much effort trying to find an admin assistant.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Stamford, CT) in Apr 2019
Interview
They strung me along for two months.
Group interview and multiple 1:1 interviews, plus zoom (video) interviews. I drove to both Stamford and Norwalk locations. After they rejected me, I learned that they knew from the second case study (and survey) I had done that they did not want me.
They still wasted my time and had me come in for at least 2-3 more interviews with the teams.
I must've been a 'practice' for the trainees to interview. Don't waste your time here. They play games and string you along.
They are horrible at responding to emails throughout the process.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates
Interview
Informative and straight-forward. You are not entered into a position without all knowledge of responsibilities, culture, and more. The screening helps cut out those who would not fit into the company.

Question 1
Stress-Level Related. Scenario Questionnaire. Repetitive questions, consistency in answers is key. Keep it straight-forward.
