I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates in Oct 2009
Interview
I applied on Bridgewater's website and got a email some weeks later. They asked me to do a coding problem. The coding problem is not hard and I had 1 week to finish. Then they called for a phone interview. They asked some questions about the resume and discussed my solution to the coding problem. Within one week they called me for the onsite interview. The onsite interview includes one round technical and one round behavioral. The behavioral is very strange, they let you choose one public policy topic out of four and discuss the topic with two interviewers. They want to know your thinking process and want to know whether you fit their culture.
Not surprisingly, got a rejection right after the interviews.
Culture fit is really very important for bridgewater. Look at their philosophy on their website and think about it before the interview

Question 1

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.
