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

Smart people, much to learn, great compensation, great benefits, great perks, a hint of greatness in everything around you. The "culture" means everything and you can learn a lot of personal value from understanding it.

Cons

The "culture" is misunderstood and wielded inaccurately by many. You never know when you're really a part of the team and you never know when someone will misuse the culture against you.

Pros

Best series of managers I've ever worked for. Genuinely wanted to bring out the best in employees. When I met Ray, I found he was a great person as well.

Cons

Potential long hours, must have tough skin, an ego that does not impede, and/or ability to handle constructive criticism.
