Pros
Work here is refreshing, in that the thinking here is very outside of your typical fund. Also, benefits including healthcare and good-quality food are included in the package. Finally, you have the natural prestige of the fund which makes it highly recommended for those intending to work at a high pressure - high reward fund. If you gain a place here at entry-level, several doors will open in the industry.
Cons
People may consider Bridgewater Associates to be decent, but pay can be average and linked highly to performance. On some years, you'll make several times your base but more often that not (especially this year), under-performance by the fund will hit dramatically. Also, given the rather strange way of doing things, some may find it difficult to adjust to the highly strict nature of the business.
