Bridgewater Associates

Engaged Employer

A fascinating study in introspection but a silly place to work if you have aspirations - Program Manager Bridgewater Associates Employee Review

Pros

A place where you can truly think about how you think with some of the smartest people you will ever meet. A place to learn about yourself and the best and worst of people. A place to practice the art of BS at a level rarely seen in a free market based business. A place where you can be praised and rewarded for total failure - as long as you thought about it correctly.

Cons

A place where Technology is so old and insecure I would not run it within my own home. A place where doing a thing correctly is of no value what so ever. A place where your professional value declines every quarter you are there
