Their interview process is definitely very unique and something you can't really prepare for. I wouldn't say my interviewers were nicest people either - they just love to probe a lot and any canned answers don't fly.

I interviewed and got an offer. Couldn't do the 6:30 am commute from NYC and friends who worked there recalled having to stay overnight on the compound due to incessant late nights. Weekends were spent emotionally recovering from the BS during the week. Plus, absolutely no working from home - ever. Not worth it.

just interviewed here. bunch of assholes

EY 1 - it takes a certain kind of personality to succeed there. I worked there and absolutely loved the culture of complete transparency and constant critical feedback.

no believe me I LOVE the culture and would be great somewhere like that according to my peers and family - the guy I interviewed with was just a horrible monotone prick

well they didn't really ask me any questions - they told me it was my meeting so I asked questions for 40 mins. I only answered questions about Java, OOP, and an algorithm about billiard balls.

Looks like you were recruiting for a more technical role. But I'm not surprised by what you went through. Everyone I met there had a unique interview story to share.

Share war stories guys. I love hearing bridgewater war stories

EY 2 - as they say, it all depends. I absolutely loved my time there and will happily go back if the right opportunity comes up.

S1 so why did you leave?

At BW, you are assigned to a "box" i.e. you have very well defined role and responsibilities, and it's really hard to do anything outside the box. I didn't want to be pigeon-holed and wanted a broader exposure after MBA.

Thanks S &. I have applied to BW in the past but it seems a bit harsh. Also the commute to Connecticut is too long.
