Entrevista
Interviewed with 7 people for 6 hours on-site following an hour of phone interview a month earlier. The position was great, a great long-term opportunity too. I was really excited about this job.
The interview was easy -- Tell me about yourself - What are your weaknesses - kind of stuff. The person I was to be reporting to was great, and we got along really well. But I also met with people from other departments that I was going to be working with and that was a problem as I was obviously too honest and too open. Ray's principles are great and I really believe in them. But don't apply them too much in your interview. Beaware: treat the interview like an interview with any other company. Although everyone says they believe and act by the principles, I got the sense that in practice, it's just like any other place: they play they little games, protecting their turf, being political etc.... It's unfortunate that it didn't work out. My mistake: believing they all really play by the principles. Hope this helps

The interview process was drawn out over two months, nearly three. I found the actual interviews to be interesting and thought provoking, but found the interactions with recruiters to be miserable.

They put us in a group and we had to debate if social media was bad or good

The interview process was long but productive and very well organized in my opinion. It took a few months from start to finish but I met with very different teams throughout the process and found it helpful to determine what area I wanted to pursue.

Entrevista
A recruiter from Bridgewater messaged me over LinkedIn inviting me to interview for the Front Office Operations Associate role. I was interested, so the recruiter set up a 45 minute first round introductory call to explain the role in detail as well as the company's culture, and the rest of the time was discussing my resume in its entirety.
I was selected for a second round interview over the phone the following week with an Associate. In the interim, 2 other recruiters from Bridgewater reached out saying they were the new go-to contact for my interview process, making a total of 3 people I was now dealing with. They asked me to complete 3 personality tests over the weekend, in addition to an Excel test.
The 2nd round interview was a 30 minute phone call with the scheduled Associate, and an Analyst that they had not mentioned, who did all of the talking on their end. The Analyst asked to go over my Excel test to analyze my way of thinking, as opposed to the actual results. We spent 1 minute discussing my results, then they asked me to completely re-engineer my calculations for the Excel test from the ground-up. So completing the Excel test was a waste of time, and then you're pressured to re-do the entire test over the phone on the spot, with a new approach. Then the Analyst grilled me on my newly formed answers, then I had the opportunity to ask 3 quick questions, then the 30 minutes was up. In addition, filling out the personality tests was time consuming and proved to be useless. The junior level analyst did not know how to articulate his question regarding reengineering to Excel model, so it wasted several minutes of the short 2nd round phone call - if the Associate who I was supposed to speak to actually talked, I believe the process would've been smoother and better overall.
Below are all the questions I was asked in the process, including first and second round.
