Third Bridge reviews

-During interviews they describe the work as very analytical. In reality, it's probably 1% analytical, 69% cold-calling people, asking them to enter into a borderline conflict of interest with their current employers, and 30% playing executive assistant between clients who don't respect you and the experts who are constantly in danger of changing their mind -Management is obsessed with quantifying you as an employee, to the point of counting the outgoing calls and getting on your case if you make what they consider to be too few -Pay is very mediocre, and the size of your bonus depends directly on the performance of the other offices -You won't learn skills that transfer over significantly to your future career -NYC is often treated as a sort of unwanted child compared to the London office, despite being far more productive on a per-employee basis (this is beginning to change with the migration of some senior staff to NYC) -Incredibly high employee turnover. Probably half quit or are fired within their first year, and only maybe 10% stick around a full two years.

- Fast growing company (50-70%+ every year) with growing pains. Things change constantly; changes that cannot suit everyone every time. - Requires the individual to realize the learning potential of the role. One can follow a repeated robotic process within their comfort zone, or they can choose to proactively engage with the projects, experts and clients. - Variable workload from week to week, sometimes requiring working longer hours to help the team. - Lack of development for hard technical skills (e.g. Excel, Finance Qualifications [though can be subsidised])
