Pros

A good amount of self exploration. You have the opportunity to work with some of the smartest people in the world

Cons

Very hard to get things done. Bureaucracy is a bit nuts here. If you want to feel cushy in your job this is not the place.

Pros

While at Bridgewater I was surrounded by some of the most brilliant, passionate leaders I have ever met. I was really pushed to think critically on a regular basis, and felt very supported by my colleagues and managers. It truly is an idea meritocracy and you can rise with in the organization pretty quickly as long as you lead with logic, results, high standards, and a bit of patience.

Cons

Not all people are bought into the culture and it's pretty clear, pretty fast, who is just "playing the game". This can be frustrating and exhausting for those of us who are all in. Diversity? No such thing.
