Pros

Bridgewater really takes care of its people. The way the firm handled COVID was super impressive and way better executed than anything our government did. If you vibe with the culture of direct, honest feedback and intellectual rigor, you might find it hard to work anywhere else. It's a special social contract that makes you realize how petty and unfair other people in the outside world can be.

Cons

The work culture still very much glorifies working long hours. Work life balance in some specific areas of the company just does not exist.
