Solid compensation but meritocracy needs work - Senior Software Engineer Bridgewater Associates Employee Review

Pros

Lots of financial upside if a few cards fall your way (right team, timing, good relationships, etc).

Cons

No matriculation structure for *some* software engineers. "Some" based on what team/dept you work on or whether or not you're seen as a "star" who's worth investing in.
