After phone call with recruiter, had a round 1 interview: which was a moral / ethics question that you had to discuss with other candidates. Have to think about your response and be receptive to new ideas. Interviewer was fine, the other two candidates were semi annoying
Neutral experience
Difficult interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in Apr 2025
Interview
First round is an online phone call for about 30 mins going over basic personal information. Next round is a meeting with a group of other applicants to discuss a vague topic and to reason over solutions. Third is a technical interview assessment over algorithms. Never got to see the future rounds

Question 1
Group interview: If you could press a button and everyone's age was fixed to 25, would you press it?
Technical Interview: Given an order history book with deleted data, walk out an efficient algorithm to refill the order book
First had a call with the campus recruiter, asked behavioral questions. Said that will get back to me within the next few weeks. Followed up later but no response, then got a rejection letter about after two months.
