Incredible experience, great people, excellent role post-university
Pros
I worked at Third Bridge for five years, joining in my first role post university. The skills I learned at Third Bridge have proven transferable to other sectors - I still apply learning on a daily basis in my current role as COO of a children's charity. I would highly recommend the organisation as a graduate role out of university, and generally as a great employer. The ability to take on high levels of responsibility at an early stage of your career is unusual and I loved the dynamism and fun environment that we worked in. Pros: Fast paced culture Great learning environment and supportive of individual career ambitions Very supportive of staff taking on additional work cross-organisation and letting people try to solve problems/try new approaches Solutions-focused workplace Good salary/benefits package Willingness of senior management to provide career advice and engage with all members of staff Exposure to senior industry specialists Exposure to clients across finance Camaraderie - great people Social activities Ski trip!
Cons
It would have been helpful to have more formal structures to allow for more inter-team work cross geographies - at scale this would help international team cohesion. I believe this has improved since I left with more team offsites and structure etc now in place
