I applied through my school's career services, then got an email a few weeks later that they'd like me to interview. I did a little research on the company and read a good part of their published Principles. The day before my interview, there was a job fair happening at my school that Bridgewater also came to. I talked to them there where they fiercely questioned my mediocrity. I got another interview offer from that job fair (they didn't know that I already had one) despite my very poor first attempt at talking to the representatives. The interview itself the next day was much more relaxed, which was split into a technical portion and a personal portion where they asked about my passions.

I submitted my application for the Technology Associate position through Bridgewater's website and after about a week I received a coding challenge. The coding challenge was about a directed weighted graph and how it applies to Bridgewater. The problem was easy and I received a notice that they wanted to move forward about 2 days after I submitted my solution. Next came 2 phone interviews. The first was focused on seeing who I am and why I applied to Bridgewater. The second was technical and focused on the solution I sent. The technical call was a disappointment because the engineer I talked to obviously did not read my code before the call. We spent 45 minutes talking about how this problem was important to Bridgewater, nothing technical. After this call I received an email that they wanted to move to on-site. I setup dates and figured out when would be best to visit. Then randomly about 4 days later I received an email that they did not want to continue the interview process because all of their TA position were filled for the year. After spending hours taking coding challenges, phone calls, personality tests, and multiple interviews, I was rejected because HR couldn't figure out they had enough candidates already. Nice people, but really annoyed.
