Pros
After reading a few reviews, I felt compelled to write a few words on my experience here at Bridgeway. After beginning my career here in Q1 of 2006, I was promoted to Partner in August of 2008. Today I run a practice that is currently our largest. There are four things that are most commonly sought after in an employer… corporate culture, advancement opportunity, challenge and financial upside. There is certainly no lack of challenge here and you control your own advancement and financial upside with absolutely no limitations. No internal politics prevent your growth, simply work hard and be coachable and good things happen. When it comes to the corporate culture, I sincerely believe this is unmatched. Every person here is looked at and treated like family. When I read an earlier review that described our President as “only about how much money we make him,” I was literally offended. On many occasions I’ve seen him and other leaders in our organization take money out of their pockets to reward the effort of others. He’s taught me the valuable lesson that if you take care of your people before yourself they will be more loyal and care about our organization. In summation, if you don’t mind hard work then this is where you should want to be. I can’t picture myself ever being anywhere else.
Cons
It isn't easy. It shouldn't be. If it was easy, anyone could do it. If you are not focused on your career and willing to invest the time during the first few years then you may not be successful.
