Bridgewater Associates reviews

- The company has grown quickly and there is likely dead wood and lots of inefficiency due to adaptation. Some departments worse than others and a couple bordering on dysfunctional, although all the key investment departments are ok - The adjustment from traditional business environment can be jarring. No mincing words. - Solid work hours (10-11hrs/avg) or more in some groups - Not clear why its been so hard to get good outside experienced people to come in and have impact

Lots of growing pains Sub-par technology Unquestioning acceptance of The Principles Institutionalized willingness to flay people emotionally in search of "the truth" Hard to function if you don't agree with the accepted wisdom Cultish attitudes towards the founder Uneven management and culture unintentionally encourage witch hunting Lots of stuff (like backstabbing) ostensibly counter to company principles, but still happens
