I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Oxford, England) in Nov 2017
Interview
I received an interview invite after a referral from a friend who works for Bridgewater Associates LP. I then had to watch the videos on what BW is all about to determine fit called "Inside Bridgewater" which is available on their site.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
We had a group discussion in the first round where each interviewee had to come with an already prepared philosophical question which was broad enough for people from all disciplines to participate in and of course one that was not offensive.
First round with HR.
Second round is a group discussion. Given a topic, there is no right or wrong. I think they are trying to understand your thinking process and how you deal with problems.

Question 1
HR related general questions. Philosophy-like topic.
HR screen about you and your background, group discussion where you discuss an abstract philosophical question (e.g do you tax happiness, if you could make everyone believe one fact what would it be), analytical interview

Question 1
You are netflix trying to figure out how much to pay for a new show/how much it's worth, what do you do
Analytical debate and then further rounds discussing quantitative problems, analytical studies, etc. etc. around 4 to 5 rounds in total and also questions on resume and experience etc etc. not super chill or super intensive, nothing much else to add
