      Management Associate Interview

      30 Sept 2010
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Westport, CT
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in Sept 2010

      Interview

      The Bridgewater interview is a very unique process. If you know anything about the company, they have pretty much redefined the term "corporate culture" and even border on cult. Everyone on staff, from the newly hired grad to the CFOs, are expected to question and scrutinize every decision made and continually strive for improvement. That said, I got the interview after attending several recruiting sessions and private events (I attend an Ivy, so they recruit on campus). The interview is with 5-10 interviewees and 1-2 Bridgewater employees. A question is posed, in my case "Is television bad for society?", and the group is expected to debate. That's it. That's the first round interview. The BW interviews actively participate and the interviewees are expected to relentlessly pursue the "truth". Our group ultimately decided it was a positive source for society on a whole, while unfortunate side effects are created. Still waiting on the results. Once they're in I can comment more on what they looking for in terms of your participation.

      There were multiple rounds of interview. Largely a test on culture fit, and overall it is what is to be expected if you prepare and do your research. I enjoyed the process.

      Interview

      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.
