I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2018
Interview
I got an email from the recruiter first then talked on the phone then they sent me an email to schedule a video interview. The video interview consisted of 2 people, one talking, the other just listening in. I was expecting the hard moral bridgewater questions but I just got algorithms questions.
