First had a call with the campus recruiter, asked behavioral questions. Said that will get back to me within the next few weeks. Followed up later but no response, then got a rejection letter about after two months.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT) in Apr 2025
Interview
First round is an online phone call for about 30 mins going over basic personal information. Next round is a meeting with a group of other applicants to discuss a vague topic and to reason over solutions. Third is a technical interview assessment over algorithms. Never got to see the future rounds
