I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Bridgeport, CT) in Mar 2017
Interview
I had a phone interview in which they asked about my CV-then another phone interview in which I heuristically issued my opinion on a small data set and how to read it-I was then invited to a full-day on site but did not get the job
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview questions were mostly about my CV. I was given a data set to work on on a phone interview as well but mostly heuristically.
Hr email reach out then phone screen, 1 week later hiring manager online interview. Pulled out a spreadsheet asking marginal utility type questions. Nothing like other companies on the street.

Here are the steps of the interview process as I remember:
- questions on application
- recruiter call
- discussion with other candidates
only got to the recruiter call, moves pretty fast.
I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT)
Interview
first round behavioral tests
all day onsite with 13 interviews including group interview
highly focused on fit and culture
skills assessment was relatively mild, they assumed I was able to do the job based on my background (mathematics PhD)
