I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in Oct 2019
Interview
I have finished my interview process, and this was by far the worst experience I had with any company. The interviewer I spoke with seemed like she was trying to play mind games with me and was rude to the point of being insulting. There were so many red flags for me in this process that it just seems to not be worth it.
HR, written tests, two sets, discuss written test answers. behavioral, then the final round. A few technical questions. Not really difficult. The interview style is somewhat relaxed. No curve balls.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates
Interview
I had two rounds of interviews. First interview with Hr and second with the person I was replacing, which I thought it was a bit wierd. He asked about current affairs in geopolitics.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you know about European politics? If you were an investor how would you advise in terms in investing in Europe right now (Germany, Netherlands)
I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT)
Interview
Very in-depth and intense. Technical aspect was not too difficult and is somewhat abstract, but behavioral interview and exercise is very direct. They really want to get down to the most granular elements of what makes you tick and your philosophical approach to work and the world at large.

Question 1
Why are you interested in (very specific academic experience that we'd discussed)? With "whys" following every answer.
