Management Associate - Management Associate Bridgewater Associates Employee Review

Pros

Overall a wonderful place to build a career. Incredibly smart people in a culture that invests heavily in deep, honest relationships. Huge ability to add value and take on impactful roles a few years out of college. As an MA, one can also work in different departments and learn about the various components of the business - I am really learning how to be a good general manager. The new CEO's are very focused on improving the employee experience by working on initiatives such as mobility, diversity & inclusion etc.

Cons

Location (Westport,Ct). Some of the growing pains of any company (balancing checks/audits that can come across as bureaucratic while encouraging entrepreneurial behavior). Approach to developing talent is organic (vs programmatic and explicit) which can result in inconsistent experiences depending on the quality of one's manager.
