Great place to work

Pros

Third Bridge is a rapidly growing company (which of course results in some growing pains from time to time), but executive leadership is really quite transparent and are making the right decisions to scale the business. There is a priority focus right now on making sure every employee understands potential career paths within the company, including switching divisions and taking on brand new skill sets, which is a huge testament to how much investment into employees there is. Working in the Connections department is a customer service role, which is very demanding. The company has been quite introspective over the past year about how they view work/life balance, and has made a ton of great improvements. Pay is good, the new comp structure is very clear cut and allows for transparent conversations between employees and managers about bonuses, etc. Ultimately, your experience at Third Bridge is what you make of it. You can find a great mentor, take outside courses on the company's dime, challenge yourself, and lay a solid foundation for your career here.

Cons

As a rapidly growing company, things change quickly, which does not suit everyone. Sometimes, management will spend too much time listening to those complaining the loudest, even if that isn't indicative of how the general population feels. The company values winning, ambition, and excellence. Quotas are aggressive and the benchmark moves constantly. If you are the type of person who wants to be constantly praised for doing the bare minimum of what is asked of you, or the type of person who wants to be handed a promotion every 9 months, this is not the place for you. Finally, this is a customer service job, and that is not easy. The customer comes first, and since our customers are some of the largest consulting and investment firms in the world, you shouldn't expect to work strictly 9-6 every day.

The Bridge Review

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The people who work there are very agreeable, and the office culture is very young (avg. age around 25). If you are in Connections, you can get promoted fairly easily and ascend to a management position. If you are in Forum, you should probably try to become a Sector Analyst, which opens up favorable opportunities.

Cons

The pay is pretty low, and regardless of how well/poorly you perform, bonuses and salaries are essentially uniform. The notion that the Bridge is a meritocracy is a misnomer. The work is fairly tedious, especially in Connections (a lot of administrative work). Also, I used to have a manager who lied to me a lot, which was a bummer and damaged employee morale. Now I have a much better manager, which is nice.

Thanks for sharing your experience. We take employee feedback seriously, People Operations are always available to discuss any concerns or issues you may have. Although the role can be at times repetitive, there are a lot of opportunities for growth and progression, I would also suggest discussing these with your manager.
