Pros

If you enjoy sales, you will enjoy this work. It is entirely made up of cold calling

Cons

Management loves to misrepresent the job when hiring, it needs to be understood that this is a call-center, cold calling position. You are not doing research, and you have no real actual connection to consulting, private equity, or anything of that nature. You are cold-calling, and doing SALES. Your targets for this company will only be achievable to you if you are doing 50-100 cold calls a day. Unless you wish to do sales, absolutely stay away from this job. You will have no career path or learnable skills outside of sales after working in this position. You will be stuck on a sales floor, and expected to cold call for 9-10 hours everyday. Rinse, repeat.

Thank you for your feedback. We recognise that the role involves follow-ups and cold calling, as we’re client-facing, and we aim to ensure our team members have the support they need to succeed in this fast-paced environment. Whilst this is the case, we know that our compensation and benefits offering is competitive and employee-focused to reflect this (including compensation and uncapped bonus schemes!). We also strive to be as transparent as possible about the day-to-day responsibilities in our job descriptions, so that we attract the right people for the role. Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review.

Pros

Only pro is you will know clearly what you don’t want in a future job.

Cons

This job is horrible and the company is doing nothing to make it a better experience. They will overwork you and talk down on you if you don’t hit a performance target that measures nothing about your actual strengths. They don’t appreciate anything you do if you don’t bring in revenue, and they will not acknowledge that how well you do is based on luck. Getting promoted is not impressive, it’s inevitable, because everyone else leaves and those left move up. If you are straight out of college, do your mental health a favor and find something else worth your time and effort, unless you are very desperate and have to accept the offer in the meantime while you find something you actually like.

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. We are sorry your experience at Third Bridge isn’t what you were looking for. We take feedback seriously and you’ve raised some points that we want to address. We recognise that an environment with lots of feedback, exposure to fast-paced research projects, target-driven and a lot of exposure to senior leadership both within our organisation and outside isn’t for everyone. We illustrate what this looks like in our interview process with hands-on, realistic examples of the kind of contribution you’d be making every day. This has been updated recently, and may not have been your experience, but we’re confident this structure provides much more clarity on the role. While we are a feedback and metrics driven organisation, we know how critical it is that our managers create a motivating and supportive environment for their teams. Managers go through in-depth management training, including wellbeing support, and we have a host of benefits available to allow our teams to relax and recharge too, including: personal days, wellbeing events, physical and mental therapy, mental health first aiders and volunteering days. We work hard to create an inclusive and safe environment where if people are struggling, they have a number of places they can go to for support. If you have any additional suggestions as to how we can improve, we would welcome a further conversation. Feel free to reach out to us at team@thirdbridge.com.

Terrible company

Pros

Great colleagues Exposure to different industries

Cons

Managers overstep boundaries and display favoritism. ‘Fast-paced’ toxic work environment combined with constant micromanagement. Targets are unrealistic with the expectation to work above and beyond, but no overtime pay. No work-life balance, no company culture, and most employees are unhappy. No diversity and all upper level management in recent years are not POC.

Thanks for taking the time to give us feedback. You bring up points that are really important to us, so hoping to provide some clarity and would be open to discussing your experience more (reach us at team@thirdbridge.com). We agree that we have great colleagues and the exposure to lots of different industries and experts is a great opportunity to fast-track your career development. We are a client-facing business, so sometimes we have to work after or before typical work hours, but we try to make up for that time with flexibility and perks. We strive to build our culture on that balance -- one that fosters a desire to learn and build connections within and outside of Third Bridge. That culture, while great on paper, only works if we have the right people to practice and embed it in our day-to-day environment. We're fortunate to have a talented and diverse group of employees and leaders to do just that. We know there's always room to improve and are routinely seeking opportunities to continue supporting our underrepresented and marginalized employees, and we're proud to have women, queer folks, and people of color at the helm to help us achieve those goals.
