Bridgewater does a fantastic job of allowing each employee to bring their authentic self to work. This applies to both one’s personal and professional self.

The culture, the communication, the time senior management takes to do town halls, virtual brown bags, the engagement with the community, the way we truly care about our clients’ finances. They are a family behind that dollar that trusts us to help them in retirement and in college. This carries over to how employees are treated as well.

A lot of organizations use culture as a buzzword, but this is the first place I have worked where I can feel the culture in my everyday work, and it makes me excited to go to work. The benefits are amazing, we are flexible and care about the associate.
