I received a blind email from one of their HR representatives with a brief description of the job and a link to the company's website so I could find out more about the culture at Bridgewater Associate. After watching some of the videos I decided I would reply to the email and a phone interview with HR was setup for the following day. That interview went fine as he described the job opportunity and more about the culture, did I mention he talked about the culture? He then sent me a link where I would find a full Myers Briggs questionnaire as well as some other company personality test. I completed the online questions and waited two weeks before I received another email requesting a good time for a phone interview with a network person. I gave a few options and got an email a couple days later with a date/time and a bridge number to call into. I confirmed the date and time with a follow up email. I called into the bridge a few minute early and waited, I was just about to "timeout" at the 15 minute mark when the bridge finally opened. I received a rather flip sounding apology that "it's been a busy day", then he introduced themselves and asked if I knew about the total transparency policy. He then asked if was OK with me to record the interview and I figured the call would be over if I didn't agree so I did. He started the tape and asked me one more time for the record. He started by introducing himself and gave a bit about his background. He actually seamed proud that Bridgewater was the only company he had worked for. I was asked to introduce myself and give some background. I'm not sure if I went into too much detail or not enough as I got absolutely no feedback during the "conversation" ...I felt like I was talking to a tape recorder. Once done I still got no feedback and no questions about my experience or other technical questions. He continued with a bit more about the organization and the position then he asked "the question". "Tell me about you strengths and weaknesses" Apparently he did not like my weakness and started the junior psych probing questions to really get to the root of my weakness. The conversation gets fuzzy here because all I wanted to tell him that dealing with pompous morons with over inflated egos was my true weakness. He then said something about me not being a good fit because I sounded uncomfortable talking about my weakness and that they do a lot of that there.... I received the "thanks but no thanks" email from HR a couple days later...as if it was actually necessary.
