Dalio readily admits that Bridgewater is a tough place to work. The turnover rate is "unusually high" within the first two years for new employees, with 21 percent leaving in the first year and another 10 percent in the next, Dalio has said. Those rates then drop off to 3 percent by the fifth year -- which is “exceptionally low,” he said in a January LinkedIn post. Jensen and Prince have each been at the firm for decades.
“This pattern is a result of Bridgewater’s culture and its having tough and unique standards,” he wrote. “The company is not for everyone but for those who it is for, there is nothing like it.”
