Pros

- The culture allows for rapid development and overcoming weaknesses if you aren't overwhelmed by it - They put a ton of effort into developing young talent and caring about your development - Can work with senior leaders of the company early on

Cons

- Only a few roles that stand out (mainly Investment Associate or other roles in the investment engine, Client Advisors) as great opportunities that would set Bridgewater apart as a place to work (and thats only ~20% of company) - Location in CT (especially for young people) - I generally felt like Bridgewater is one of the worst places to work if you're doing poorly in your job, as they won't hesitate to tell you
