I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Cambridge, MA) in Jan 2016
Interview
Applicants filled out a brief application form. Those who were then invited for interviews (which may have been everyone) were asked to take a series of personality tests. The first round interview was a group discussion about a philosophy question; each applicant proposed a question, and the interviewers selected one. Three Bridgewater employees—all of them Investment Associates, not Management Associates—observed us; only one of them spoke.

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.
