I applied online. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates
Interview
Long grueling process, consisting of phone interview and 4 different in-person interviews spread over an 8 hour period. First was an algorithms interview in which the interviewers make you white board a problem in one hour (get upset with you because they came late and you did not finish in 45 minutes but you should have had an hour). Second interview is a tech background interview, where the two interviewers nit pick a project you worked on and bash your choices if they don't align with their technologies of choice. Third is a general background and then the fourth is a culture fit interview and I wouldn't recommend disagreeing with any of their ideas.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Bridgeport, CT)
Interview
Had a call with the recruiter. basic questions on past experience in Finance and projects. Great conversation but did not get approved tot he next round as I was told the team would respond to me, but they did nit want to go forward with me.
Took a hacker rank coding challenge. The hacker rank coding challenge is allocated a duration of hours equivalent to 2 weeks but does not necessarily require the whole two weeks to be solved, i.e. can be completed in the less than the completed time.
