Bridgewater Internship structure/learning opportunity

Bridgewater claims that they do not care about any domain knowledge in their interns. Even in the whole interview process, I wasn't asked even one finance-y question. Does this mean that they teach interns everything they want them to know right from the basics? If not, then what is some generally assumed knowledge from interns?
