Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Recruiter reached out via linkedin, went to a networking reception. Then to super-day at company headquarters. Started with a group interview between myself, two Bridgewater employees and four other candidates. All of us were asked in advance to prepare a question to debate. Ended up debating if welfare should have conditions. Extremely hypothetical, a little difficult to follow at times. The interviewers take a lot of notes during the debates.

Then separated into individual interviews. First interview was walk me through your resume. Was with two employees. Second interview was with one Bridgewater employee. Given 90 seconds to look over 8 NYTimes articles and then debate the Syrian Refugee Crisis. Be careful to not go into a black hole and mention anything you cannot back-up.
