Just Really Terrible - Don't Do It

Pros

You learn how to work in a very toxic environment that makes any other company you go to seem like a dream.

Cons

Several members of senior leadership openly make sexist comments. When reported to HR, these comments are blamed on "cultural nuances" instead of appropriately addressing that people of color and women are allowed to be treated disrespectfully. Everyone is generally miserable. I witnessed public panic attacks and people crying in the bathrooms either because they're so stressed that they're going to get fired (because their client shut down and they weren't making calls so they couldn't hit their quota) or because someone is actively bullying them and managers/HR isn't doing anything about it (or wouldn't do anything about it). You will work long hours as if you're in banking (which they'll try to paint as being occasional). They'll argue that the compensation is fair and that you have the opportunity to make more in bonuses if you work harder and longer hours - you won't. Managers don't receive "management training" until after they have already been hired to be a people manager. This means these 24-year-old managers have no track record of being an effective leader and is based strictly on if they're well-liked, leading to micromanagement and favoritism. There is no accountability for the toxic culture. Poor reviews on internal employee engagement surveys are viewed as "people just creating problems" or "fake opinions". The poor reviews on Glassdoor are seen as "people complaining just to complain" or "people screaming into the void". Their response is to beg employees to submit positive reviews instead of working towards a solution that would result in people organically leaving a positive review. Apparently this has been a common problem for years - all you have to do is scroll through the recent and old Glassdoor reviews and you'll see the proof for yourself.

Hi, Thank you for your review. We are disappointed to hear you did not have a great experience with us and are concerned about some of the things you mentioned in your review. At Third Bridge we have a zero tolerance policy against sexism, bullying or any other forms of discrimination etc. Should an instance be reported we hold an investigation to understand claims further and determine next steps. If you feel the proper next steps were not taken or you have further information to share we encourage you to revisit with us - please reach out to theteam@thirdbridge.com. Most of our core roles are target driven which may not be a work environment for everyone. We are transparent about this during our interview process and provide a case study to help demonstrate To your point around working long hours, we strive to make it clear during the recruitment, onboarding and training processes that we are a client facing company and there are times when your hours will vary because of that. With that said, we truly feel that our compensation scheme rewards this. Regarding management training, we take pride in growing internal talent, which often results in us training new managers. We also offer a ‘Next Generation Leadership program’ where our Senior Leadership team recommends employees that have shown great leadership skills, performance and much more and go through extensive training prior to becoming a manager. We appreciate all feedback whether positive or negative and encourage you to share your opinions whilst employed at Third Bridge. Thanks again.

Pros

young coworkers, a couple snacks available in office

Cons

- If you don't hit 100% of your target every month you'll get fired - hitting target is completely dependent on your clients - No relevant transferable skills at all (get a job as an SDR at a saas company instead if you're a college grad looking for a first job) - "Working hours" are 9-6pm but you're responding to emails until you go to bed - Managers are hardo losers

Pros

New office building is very nice and overlooks the city of Dallas

Cons

This company culture is terrible, They trick you into thinking its not a sales role and you don't have to hit target when indeed you are required to hit target.

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. We're thrilled with our new office in Dallas and are excited to continue growing that team! Part of that work is contingent on finding enthusiastic and informed talent, so our interviewing process has been updated to clearly reflect what will be expected. During the interview process, we offer an opportunity for you to practice the research and behaviors that would be expected on projects you're contributing to. We're also very clear about our target system, which we believe drives performance and puts your development in your own hands. We're always looking for ways to improve so if you have additional feedback to share, please reach out to team@thirdbridge.com.
