Bridgewater is very weird and you'll probably get used to the phrase "I've never heard of a firm..." while you're there. That being said, unless you've already hammered out the details and logistics of an offer, thats probably what this is. As nuts as they are, its not an easy place to get into. Congrats.

 

Due to the pandemic, the interview process was different than what it used to be. The process was in line with what the HR person told me. There were 4 interview rounds (including the screening which took an hour).

 

How’s your final round and what’s the result? I’m waiting for feedback after my final round as well🥺🥺🥺 and I’m kind of worried

 

yes,I’m interviewing with BW recently as well but there’s no feedback after my final round. How long does they contact you after your final round? And how’s your phone call with them? Thank you!
