I applied online. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in Sep 2017
Interview
Bridgewater covered expenses from flying, hotel, food, and driving to the location. The interview process involved both a single and group interview at the Bridgewater offices. Acceptances and rejections were sent out in the week following the interview.
