Bridgewater Associates reviews

- Your progress in any professional way is brought to a halt - Though claiming to be meritocracy, it is very subtle political environment - Amount of procrastinating is UN-believable, for example you can spend talking 30 minutes of your 30 minutes meeting talking about what is the goal of your meeting and whether makes sense (true story !) - Non-compete is UN-bearable, they are now stopping everybody from leaving to other financials - Technology is 10-12 years old - Members of Management Committee (MC) are nodders and Ray-pleasers who see it as opportunity to get shares and be secured for life - Ray keeps saying he is retired and literally makes all the decisions

Little quantitative sophistication A little dogmatic on some aspects of the culture Some senior leaders are too egocentric
