I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Charlottesville, VA) in Feb 2021
Interview
I got a call after receiving an email informing me of a first round interview from an initial online application. I was asked pretty basic questions, did not hear back after the call.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why was I interested in working with Bridgewater?
How would I fit into the culture?
First round with HR.
Second round is a group discussion. Given a topic, there is no right or wrong. I think they are trying to understand your thinking process and how you deal with problems.
