Pros

Very intellectually challenging work environment with incredibly intelligent people. It's an amazing place to grow and learn, but be prepared to pushed to your limit. People who succeed are very well compensated.

Cons

It's hard to have great work/life balance in that work will creep into every aspect of your life. Really not so bad if you have realistic expectations. Be honest with yourself about whether or not the culture described seems like a good fit to you. I think Bridgewater does a pretty good job presenting it's culture - but people truly need to determine if it is right for them before taking a job.

Pros

See: No Bull. Everyone is very honest and direct about what they are thinking about you or anything at hand. You can also feel more free to bring up concerns and complaints.

Cons

See: Big personalities. Although bwater preaches a culture of no egos, I find it seems to have hired the biggest egos on the planet. Be sure to check YOURS at the door though.
