I applied online. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in Feb 2021
Interview
3 Rounds of interviews. First is a pre-recorded video interview, second is a phone screen with HR, and third is a case study interview with a manager.
All seemed well until they scheduled a call days in advance to discuss next steps. The call was really just to call and tell the candidate they did not receive the role.
What kind of company decides to take time out of their and the candidate's schedule to set up a time days in advance to tell them they did not get the job?
I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Singapore)
Interview
The interview process was notably slow, spanning over six months. Throughout this period, there were extended gaps between each stage, leading to a prolonged and drawn-out experience. The timeline extended significantly beyond what I expected, with delays in feedback and decisions at multiple points.
Every interview is recorded. You're put in a room with other candidates who are also interviewing for the same role as you (ie your competitors) for group interviews in the morning. If you're lucky, you make it to the afternoon interviews - which are done 1x1.
