Business outlook
Pros
Very smart people, good ideas. Solid consistent performance year over year. You will be challenged here, slackers need not apply. If you just to just get by, you won't last. Free food provided (including lunch) is pretty good, there's a decent variety and it's plentiful.
Cons
People aren't treated well, there is intense focus on weakness and telling people how bad they are at what they are doing. Everyone is viewed as replaceable, turnover is very high. No Wall Street bonuses here, you won't get rich at Bridgewater. Insane culture, Ray Dalio's principles (available on the company website) are more of an operating manual that people misinterpret all the time and use as a weapon to make you feel bad about yourself.
