PTSD - Anonymous employee Bridgewater Associates Employee Review

Pros

Compensation. This is how they keep you in their toxic environment. CEO is brilliant at what he does but is totally nuts. He likes to create a lord of the flies environment.

Cons

The culture is abusive. Most of the people are very smart, but they are not being utilized or developed properly (think MIT Mathematics PhDs being asked to do busy work knowing that they're never adding value to the company). It's very political. As a manager, I was expected to yell at and fire people to move up in the company.
