I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates in July 2010
Interview
I started with a phone interview that was scheduled the day after I submitted a resume through the website. The phone interview was not typical and they asked mostly questions regarding how I could improve the processes at the company I currently work for. I did not think that it went too well. However, about a month later they sent me an email saying that I had moved on to the next round and that they would fly me to their office to interview.
The interview consisted of two exams: a mathematics and logic exam; followed with a discussion group. I did not make it past this stage as they began their cuts afterwards. Overall, I think it was a rather interesting experience but I did not feel the company was a fit for me.
I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Singapore)
Interview
The interview process was notably slow, spanning over six months. Throughout this period, there were extended gaps between each stage, leading to a prolonged and drawn-out experience. The timeline extended significantly beyond what I expected, with delays in feedback and decisions at multiple points.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (New York, NY) in Oct 2023
Interview
Started with a call with the hiring manager and an assignment to kick-start the process. However, the role was eventually taken off the market. The assignment had three essay-like questions, including one company case-study
