I initially applied for a non-disclosed position through Elm Talent Group and was told I qualified for an "exciting" opportunity with Bridgewater in an Operations/Support position. After starting my phone interview, it became known to me that I was applying to be an administrative assistant, though this was not made obvious nor was it fully explained what it entailed. The phone interview itself was very simple, save for one question. Nonetheless, because I believed the position to be such a poor fit for my own background, despite being offered an opportunity to advance to an in-person interview, I chose to opt out of the hiring process.
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 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.
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.
