Pros

Really nice co-workers Good pay Working alongside offices in other locations

Cons

The company calls itself a primary research agency which is completely false. It is basically a call center where you have to continuously call up people and persuade them to help with your "project." There is no analysis nor any brain work required for the job. It can get depressing and monotonous with no mental stimulation. The work environment is terrible. It's very difficult to get personal leave approved and you have to provide multiple reasons for taking leave. Even a sick leave is often cross questioned. It is a target driven organisation so if you are not converting enough phone calls you may have issues dealing with the pressure. Lastly, irrespective of the career progression the job remains pretty much the same unless you are sitting in the head office.

Pros

My hiring class was amazing, though by the time I left there were only 3 of us remaining.

Cons

The company culture is one of constant pressure and unrealistic expectations, with little recognition for hard work or achievements. The lack of support from management and the constant micromanagement made it a very difficult place to work. Unrealistic Targets: The company's sales targets were often impossible to achieve, even when putting in long hours of overtime. There was no clear explanation for how these targets were set, and there was no sense of fairness or consistency in how they were applied. Lack of Recognition: Despite working hard and often exceeding expectations, I never received any meaningful recognition from my managers. This lack of appreciation made me feel undervalued and unmotivated. Micromanagement: My managers were constantly micromanaging my work, which made it difficult to feel like I had any autonomy or control over my own projects. This level of micromanagement was incredibly stressful and made it difficult to get anything done. Lack of Support: When I expressed concerns about my workload or the unrealistic expectations, my managers were dismissive and unhelpful. They did not seem to care about my well-being or my ability to succeed. Constant Pressure: The company's culture of constant pressure and urgency was suffocating. I was constantly being bombarded with new projects and requests, with no time to catch up or take a break. This led to burnout and a feeling of being overwhelmed. Ineffective Management: My managers were not properly trained or equipped to lead a team. They lacked the skills and experience necessary to motivate and support their team members. This led to a lot of frustration and resentment among the team.

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. You raise a few points that we want to address… We have feedback-forward culture and monthly targets aligned to our organisational goals. Many of our team feel motivated by this. Before taking on a team, our managers undergo training and workshops that help them learn how to motivate their team, drive performance and create a supportive environment. While we feel confident that our managers are well-equipped for their roles, we recognize that for many, this is their first time managing a team, and must be open to feedback themselves. Given some of the feedback we’ve received, we have recently rolled out a new aspiring leaders programme which will only further strengthen this. We’re always looking for new, impactful ways to coach our managers, including suggestions and training from external resources, and feedback gathered through our monthly employee survey. Finally, we pride ourselves on offering an environment where our employees thrive, want to build their career and are celebrated for their hard work. We achieve this through regular performance conversations so you know where you are in your development and celebrations like our annual employee awards and recognition platform which allows employees to send and receive points to be used for rewards, gift cards and experiences. We’re always open to more feedback and would welcome a conversation about how we can improve. You can reach us at team@thirdbridge.com.
