Bridgewater Associates reviews

The sincerity. Nothing is a mere veneer to make something look good. Everyone tries to live up to the principles about how we're going to work with each other, even when they're difficult to follow through. The rules about ethical business conduct are carefully enforced. When you receive praise, you know you've earned it; when you receive criticism, you know it's not spiteful. The work environment is refreshingly straightforward. You always know where you stand. The standards. Whatever work you are doing, it is expected to be the very best of that kind of work. No job is without challenge - success is always hard won. Every project becomes an opportunity to learn, and you evolve quickly. You have the support and collaboration of all the people you work with, pushing you forward faster than you'll be comfortable with, always stretching your limits. The people. You are surrounded by people who are incredibly intelligent, extraordinarily quick on their feet, and dead serious about their work ethic. You are never be the smartest person in the room - and you are driven to new levels of ingenuity trying to earn your place. Yet you are welcomed, encouraged, and inspired rather than disheartened.

Everyone was extremely helpful both during the hiring process and in the office at the start of my assignment. They make sure their contractors are equipped with the same information about their corporate culture as their full-time employees.
