Senior Software Developer - Senior Software Engineer Bridgewater Associates Employee Review

Pros

Incredibly smart people, very high standards, very direct feedback. Looks great on your resume. You do grow as a person by having your ego adjusted realize you are not all that great in things you thought you were great. Refreshing ability to tell publicly your boss that he is terrible at certain things and be tanked for constructive feedback.,

Cons

Bureaucracy and paranoid security is stifling productivity. Pros = Cons (sometimes): if you don't have a good argument, throw a "principle" ("you are not operating at the right level..." etc.). Westport CT location and server work from home.
