I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates
Interview
Had a telephone interview first, then multiple one-on-one interviews meeting with each person on the team, then finally the actually supervisor I'd be working for. I was brought back for a "trial run" which was basically a day long interview where I watched what everyone did and discussed my opinions on how they ran things.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What bad things would your previous co-workers say about you?
flat, didn't ask job-related questions, not sure if I did well. Haha. I didn't get the offer in the end anyways. It is strange they spent so much effort trying to find an admin assistant.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Stamford, CT) in Apr 2019
Interview
They strung me along for two months.
Group interview and multiple 1:1 interviews, plus zoom (video) interviews. I drove to both Stamford and Norwalk locations. After they rejected me, I learned that they knew from the second case study (and survey) I had done that they did not want me.
They still wasted my time and had me come in for at least 2-3 more interviews with the teams.
I must've been a 'practice' for the trainees to interview. Don't waste your time here. They play games and string you along.
They are horrible at responding to emails throughout the process.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates
Interview
Informative and straight-forward. You are not entered into a position without all knowledge of responsibilities, culture, and more. The screening helps cut out those who would not fit into the company.

Question 1
Stress-Level Related. Scenario Questionnaire. Repetitive questions, consistency in answers is key. Keep it straight-forward.
