I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in Sep 2011
Interview
Group interview consisted of four other candidates and 5 Bridgewater employees. We were asked what qualities we would look for in hiring someone to fill the position we were being interviewed for. We worked on answering this question as a group, later being asked to pick 5 traits we deemed most important.

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.
