I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in May 2018
Interview
Multiple interviewees are "interviewed" in a single session which is videotaped to see how well they complete a specific task. Our task was ranking items (e.g., rope, mirror) on a deserted island.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They didn't seem interested in learning more about anyone's education, experience or what they had to offer. The important thing was: how would you rank these random items if you were on a deserted island??
I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (New York, NY)
Interview
It was fine, they were polite. They asked Qs about the role, mostly technical in nature. I don't have much else to say about the interview, to be totally honest.

Interview
I had four conversations with various leaders across the business. One of the interviews was a case study to see my thinking. Mostly situational and behavioral questions. They care a lot about the cultural fit.

I applied online. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in May 2021
Interview
I was applying for a technical project manager role for the Investment Engine. I only had 2 interviews, but stopped because of a different offer. I had a great experience both rounds. I felt that the conversation flowed naturally, but you should be prepared to logically articulate why your experiences make you an ideal fit for the role. The best part of the experience was how flexible and fast they were with accommodating my interviews given my circumstances. If I lived closer, I would’ve taken the offer.

Question 1
What is the difference between agile and normal project management?
