I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in Jan 2015
Interview
Asked to come in and had two interviews. One individual "life" interview where they try to understand who you are, then a group interview where you discuss a question as a group. Entire process was very well managed, people were nice and welcoming. Culture is definitely a crucial component of the place and a "culture fit" is a pre-requisite.

Interview
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.
