I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in Oct 2011
Interview
being hired as a developer, i was given a programming task to complete and then submit for evaluation
discussed the solution over the phone - passed
went in for a full day interview
everything is video taped or audio recorded at this company
my full day interview consisted of 4, 45min interviews with 2 people at a time
it was like psych evaluation, very situational
they look for a values and culture match
just be very honest about and you should be fine

Chatted with recruiter, initial 1hr coding interview, then behavioral interview, then another coding interview. Had I passed the coding interview I would have had another general interview with senior members of the company (non-technical).

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Bridgeport, CT)
Interview
Had a call with the recruiter. basic questions on past experience in Finance and projects. Great conversation but did not get approved tot he next round as I was told the team would respond to me, but they did nit want to go forward with me.
Took a hacker rank coding challenge. The hacker rank coding challenge is allocated a duration of hours equivalent to 2 weeks but does not necessarily require the whole two weeks to be solved, i.e. can be completed in the less than the completed time.
