I first took an online personality assessment, which was to help determine if the candidate would be a fit for the firm. I was then invited to Connecticut to interview. The interviews took place at a Stamford Hotel, where non-locals stayed the previous night. There were a lot of other candidates there that day. Every candidate had a 1-on-1 chat with an HR representative. This was entirely behavioral. Candidates were also split into groups of 6-8 and a discussion took place on a random topic. 1-2 associates from Bridgewater guided the discussions and just tried to understand your thought process, meaning there were no right or wrong answers.

The timeline extended significantly beyond what I expected, with delays in feedback and decisions at multiple points.
