So Diappointing: this place is a cult & it's a hypocrisy; it's not worth the money to have your character defamed daily - Anonymous employee Bridgewater Associates Employee Review

Pros

you get fresh cafeteria food for lunch, but it becomes boring very quickly and everyone gains 10-15 lbs due to over-eating since it's free.

Cons

this place is truly a hypocrisy; everything they say in the principle about trust in truth and radical transparency is so untrue and the opposite of what they do. Everyone jumps to conclusions and judgments almost immediately with no open-mindedness, discovery for truth and independent thinking. What is even worse is the immediate conclusions/judgments are always an assassination on a persons character/values/morals and oddly enough everyone always agrees with the person asserting the conclusions. It is the weirdest thing I have ever experienced and wish for no one else to ever experience this. It's such a unprofessional atmosphere too... everyone cursing, commenting about other and talking about others negatively behind there backs (but people at Bridgewater call this 'triangulating'.. to act like they aren't gossiping... but it's the same thing!). This place is borderline inhumane with the constant harassment and assassination and attacks on people's character, morals and values.
