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
Interview questions [1]
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.
