Pros

Work is incredibly easy if you can stomach being a glorified secretary/call center rep. You literally sit at a desk and cold call people off LinkedIn, which is an easy way to collect a check and an easier way to lose any sense of dignity.

Cons

Terrible hours, mediocre pay/benefits, big company with a startup structure and not in a good way. Very lean corporate structure, there’s really only one job to be done (scheduling consultations for end clients), so there’s not really a ladder to climb. On the plus side, this means that once people achieve project management status they basically just send emails all day, which is relatively easy. Hours are awful, 9-6 to start moving up and you’re expected to be on call until midnight with a 10 minute response time after your first promotion. In a macro sense, these are “knowledge brokers” without proprietary rights to the information they peddle. A third tier middleman company with a mindset to boot. They also pay less than direct competitors as evident from LinkedIn. I actively warn my friends who ask about opportunities away from this company.

Pros

- TB have recently overhauled their Associate program which I have benefited from. being able to see different client types and work with a mix of people has been great - the program offers a load of training which is tailored, and you have the Associate Lead who is your line manager through the whole program. very supportive and approachable - friendly and inclusive culture. people here work really hard but like to have a good time too. - can get transferable skill set that you can use in a career at TB but also more widely, which from speaking to uni friends not many jobs actually offer - free breakfast, usual tea and coffee, snacks, friday drinks, random sweet treats which is always nice

Cons

- historically management was home grown and I have heard that a few of the old team leaders were a bit inexperienced. I've heard that they now go through management training and my TL is great though - company is constantly growing so lots of change, I like this but not for everyone - everyone here is held accountable, again I like this but if you dont want to work hard then it might not be the right place for you.

Hi - thank you for taking the time to write a review. It is great to hear you are finding the Associate program rewarding and learning so much including transferable skills. Please continue to provide feedback on the Associate program and your experience at Third Bridge more widely to your manager and the People Operations team.
