I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates in Oct 2010
Interview
It was a strange sort of discussion. People brought in some very fact-based questions all of which got shot down, and changed into something more abstract. I asked "should an attorney defend an alleged murderer he knows to be guilty"? They pressed me on a bunch of my ideas, but I don't think I held up to well under their questioning, as a result, I didn't get a second round.

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.

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.
