Third Bridge reviews

I don’t know if this an expert network industry wide problem but there are so many things wrong with third bridge. First of all, you are catfished with the job description and in your interviews. Then it all comes crashing down when your life’s mission is to stalk C-Suite executives on LinkedIn, and illegally bombard them with calls/ emails/ messages. Not just this, if they don’t reply, keep chasing them until they abuse you or block you. When you do get someone to speak with you, offer them WAY below market rate and negotiate them to reduce their rates. Let me tell you, these are C suite execs who are doing extremely well in their careers. You play the roles of admin and PA to your clients and all you do is adjust consultations according to the expert and clients timeline. Don’t let me even get started on the middle management. First of all, no one is commercially aware and they’re numbers or the metrics that they judge you on don’t make sense at all. Their target system is constructed in a way that you can’t make money off it. Your day is micromanaged to the last 5 mins and god forbid you go for a quick walk around the office. There is a huge element of luck in the role, and it is not considered at all. There is a lot of blame shifting and people are sacked off left-right. There are no hard skills associated with this job at all, no market research. Stop marketing yourself as a “primary research” firm, and start marketing yourself as an expert network.

This could genuinely be an endless list of things as the company is rotten to the core. But here's enough to give you the big picture: - The job itself is falsely advertised, you cold call CEOs and then set up meetings for them (like an admin assistant). - Managers are all in their 20s so they lack proper people management skills. But if you fancy being micromanaged go for it. - Long work hours aren't rewarded financially, if you're up for working late hours and grinding then choose a different sector/company that rewards the extra hours you put in. - As a company, they're falling drastically behind their competitors (GLG, AlphaSights etc) and have resorted to creating awful (almost laughable) new products. Anyways, if you still join TB after reading this and the countless other reviews on here, then that's on you. But chances are, if you're a graduate from a decent university, you don't need to settle for this & can find much better options elsewhere.
