      Administrative Assistant Interview

      22 Mar 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Westport, CT
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in Dec 2012

      Interview

      I was contacted by a recruiter via email. I believe that he found my resume and contact information from my account on Monster. We had a scheduled phone interview that lasted about 40 min a few days later. After that, he reviewed my responses and would get back to me if he determined that I would be an appropriate candidate for Bridgewater. He did approve of my qualifications and submitted me as a potential candidate. Soon after, Bridgewater contacted him and informing him that they would like to bring me in for an interview on-site. This occurred roughly 3-4 weeks after our initial contact. Before the interview, I was required to complete 3 personality/skill assessments online that measured my accumen for working in a team, my Myers-Briggs personality, and the type of role my personality would lead me to play. The onsite interview was a group interview with 3 other candidates for the Administrative Assistant position at their 400 Nyala Farms office. They were very blunt that we were not competing against each other for a single position but rather that they wanted to see how well we worked with others. After making a round of introductions, we did a group exercise that I believe went on for too long: they asked us to create a list of the qualities of a person that we believed would make them an excellent candidate for Bridgewater and then rank the top 3. This turned into a 40 minute exercise that was beyond the point of neccessity and became kind of awkward. Eventually, one of the two interviewers told us to finish up in 3 min and we moved on to Q & A. They asked us what we have done thus far that would make us suitable candidates and to describe our greatest strengths and weaknesses. Make sure not to simply boast of your superior intellect but rather express some humility and speak on how your success has helped others and improved a group as a whole. When speaking on your weakness, be careful not to leave it as an end-all weakness but rather as a crutch that you have found ways to counteract and are actively working to improve upon.

      I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates

      Interview

      flat, didn't ask job-related questions, not sure if I did well. Haha. I didn't get the offer in the end anyways. It is strange they spent so much effort trying to find an admin assistant.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Stamford, CT) in Apr 2019

      Interview

      They strung me along for two months. Group interview and multiple 1:1 interviews, plus zoom (video) interviews. I drove to both Stamford and Norwalk locations. After they rejected me, I learned that they knew from the second case study (and survey) I had done that they did not want me. They still wasted my time and had me come in for at least 2-3 more interviews with the teams. I must've been a 'practice' for the trainees to interview. Don't waste your time here. They play games and string you along. They are horrible at responding to emails throughout the process.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates

      Interview

      Informative and straight-forward. You are not entered into a position without all knowledge of responsibilities, culture, and more. The screening helps cut out those who would not fit into the company.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Stress-Level Related. Scenario Questionnaire. Repetitive questions, consistency in answers is key. Keep it straight-forward.
