I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in Jan 2014
Interview
First, I received a coding problem as a 'homework'. I would say the problem was fairly easy.
One week later, I had a phone interview with a manager. It lasted 15 minutes, we (briefly) talked about my last experience, my solution to the problem, I even had some time to ask questions about the position.
One week later, I got an email saying I was not selected for in-person interview as I did not detect issues in my solution - No, I only explained my choice and proposed scalability improvements, which did not trigger any interest from the interviewer as he did not question it.
Since they recorded the phone interview, and the company praises on its website its transparency, I gently requested a copy of the record for my personal review. I never received anything.
Their principles are great, I am still wondering about the rest...

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.
