I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates in Oct 2014
Interview
Seven people were interviewed the same day as me. We were divided into two groups (of four and three people) and put through two group exercises. The first was a "case study" where we were asked how we would prepare a BLT lunch for the company, and the second was mostly a reflection on the first exercise. Upon finishing the interview, everyone was asked to leave (except one interviewee) and fill out a survey about the interview experience. Never was contacted by Bridgewater after leaving the office.
flat, didn't ask job-related questions, not sure if I did well. Haha. I didn't get the offer in the end anyways. It is strange they spent so much effort trying to find an admin assistant.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Stamford, CT) in Apr 2019
Interview
They strung me along for two months.
Group interview and multiple 1:1 interviews, plus zoom (video) interviews. I drove to both Stamford and Norwalk locations. After they rejected me, I learned that they knew from the second case study (and survey) I had done that they did not want me.
They still wasted my time and had me come in for at least 2-3 more interviews with the teams.
I must've been a 'practice' for the trainees to interview. Don't waste your time here. They play games and string you along.
They are horrible at responding to emails throughout the process.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates
Interview
Informative and straight-forward. You are not entered into a position without all knowledge of responsibilities, culture, and more. The screening helps cut out those who would not fit into the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Stress-Level Related. Scenario Questionnaire. Repetitive questions, consistency in answers is key. Keep it straight-forward.
