I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in Aug 2013
Interview
Was referred through a former coworker. Set up an initial call with their recruiter through email, during which the recruiter talked about a couple possible jobs as fits. Then I took a battery of four personality and work-style assessments, after which I was invited to consider two different possible roles. Finally, I came in for a full-day round of eight 1-hour interviews, which ran the gamut from technical questions in different areas to culture fit. After each session, as expected, they did lots of asking how I thought I did, telling me how they thought I did, asking what I thought of what they thought, etc. Was eventually given an offer for a different job that wasn't really what I wanted to do, so I declined.

Interview
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.

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.
