      Highly interesting but not very productive.

      Pros

      Creative and interesting culture. Opens employees to blunt honesty and straightforward criticism. Definitely is highly focused on self-improvement.

      Cons

      Can be very unproductive at times, with meetings over tiny details blowing up to take hours. Oftentimes the critical culture can be inefficient and lead to a lot of unnecessary focus on unimportant facets of a project.

      Great place if you can handle the culture

      Pros

      - The culture allows for rapid development and overcoming weaknesses if you aren't overwhelmed by it - They put a ton of effort into developing young talent and caring about your development - Can work with senior leaders of the company early on

      Cons

      - Only a few roles that stand out (mainly Investment Associate or other roles in the investment engine, Client Advisors) as great opportunities that would set Bridgewater apart as a place to work (and thats only ~20% of company) - Location in CT (especially for young people) - I generally felt like Bridgewater is one of the worst places to work if you're doing poorly in your job, as they won't hesitate to tell you
