The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates
Interview
The hiring managers were great and very responsive. The interview itself was extremely uncomfortable. It was clear the individual interviewing me was putting me under pressure to see how I would act. They read into everything that I said. Extremely uncomfortable and ultimately not the right role for me, especially as an entry level position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you made a mistake and how did you fix it
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.

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.
