A Workplace Like No Other - Senior Software Engineer Bridgewater Associates Employee Review

Pros

The pay is very good.

Cons

Constant surveillance, and management's obsessive need to know your every thought, made this the most bizarre work experience, ever. Bullying based on superior grasp of Ray Dalio's "Principles" was extensive. Being able to view recordings of top management meetings was fascinating, mostly because it showed how the "Principles", in practice, were applied not as tools for understanding, but as tools of dominance.
