      Pros

      Pay and benefits are great

      Cons

      Decided to outsource a large part of the company, signed a 7 year contract, then axed everyone after 2 years because they changed their minds.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Learn how to build out really strong/solid processes - Approach problem solving like a consultant - Always approach conversations prepared w/ logic - BW makes people great at arguing

      Cons

      - Simple things are extremely hard to accomplish because of the nature of the conversations - The principles are great, but get misused for others gain - Lack of expertise in management - they want to hire subject matter experts but don't know how to train, provide mentorship or growth - bc none of the managers have been in the same roles as their team - very low ceiling in most roles

      Overall good company but not everyone's cup of tea.

      Pros

      Overall great company, especially if your values are in line with the companies value. I know this holds true for most of the companies but for Bridgewater (BWater) its principles are its CORE. Before accepting the offer, would recommend to read a brief about its principles. If you want to work at a place where you are not shy to learn from your mistakes, loop and improve then this is the best place for you to work. I have personally learned a lot about my strengths and weakness while working at BWater. Your colleagues (regardless of junior or senior) will point out your mistakes and if you are ready to face them, learn from it you will love working at this place. Compensation, Benefits and Company events are the best I have ever seen.

      Cons

      Make sure you get a 100% clarity of your job responsibilities.
