      Receptionist Interview

      23 Feb 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Westport, CT
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Westport, CT)

      Interview

      It was fine until they had you "act out" being a receptionist at the reception desk and then criticize you for giving the wrong directions. I thought this was acting. I pretty sure if i was working there i would know that the place you wanted to go was down the hall. The interview itself wasn't hard, but was overall not a great experience. Clearly they have an agenda for how interviews should go and if you misstep they provide no feedback- odd from a company that prides itself on transparenc .

      Receptionist Interview

      9 Sept 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Norwalk, CT
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Norwalk, CT) in May 2021

      Interview

      Interview Review – Receptionist Role The interview process was extremely disappointing. The session lasted over three hours, which is unnecessarily long for a receptionist role. Much of the time was spent on irrelevant questions that did not seem related to the position. Additionally, I was required to role play as a receptionist, which felt excessive and not particularly useful in evaluating my skills. Toward the end, I was even told I had given the wrong directions, which seemed more like a trick question than a fair assessment of my ability to perform the role. Overall, the experience was frustrating, unprofessional, and poorly structured.

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Norwalk, CT

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Bridgewater Associates (Norwalk, CT) in Apr 2017

      Interview

      The interview process is long. You speak with a recruiter and then a phone interview with the head of the department and then you go in for a long, manipulative interview where you wonder if they have confused you with another candidate. I was very surprised by how unprofessional the interviewer was. I researched Bridgewater, watched a ton of videos on their "culture" and memorized the job description. I was well prepared, but apparently that is frowned upon here and I was accused of being too confident. This place is bizarre and confusing.. and apparently crying isn't uncommon. I am only saying that Glassdoor was not helpful in the interview process, because nothing was. Not even how I was prepared from the recruiter. I'm amazed this place even has employees.

      Question 1

      They tear you apart and twist what you're saying. They want you to ask a ton of questions, but barely give you the opportunity.
