The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates in May 2011
Interview
Had weird experience with this company. I got an easy programming test. Didn't recognize few design pattern names but as soon as they explained - I let them know the answers. The interview was with one senior person and few junior ones. The senior person seemed very narrow minded with a limited object oriented design experience. The junior people where also confused at times and seems to have dificulty understanding some of the aspects of the design that they asked me to make.
Overal - the whole place looked a little bit artificial.
I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT)
Interview
Chatted with recruiter, initial 1hr coding interview, then behavioral interview, then another coding interview. Had I passed the coding interview I would have had another general interview with senior members of the company (non-technical).
Interview questions [1]

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.
