Third Bridge reviews

I had spent over 3 years at TB Shanghai office and experienced many changes in the firm and depeartments. Now I look back it was such a waste of my time. Changes in management level (commericial leaders gone, changes of connections leader). poor leadership management in China. its just not going anywhere since all the competitiors are taking over the market. Poor management and lawsuits in China. expert network business is in a gray area where you could easily get into trouble if you don't strictly follow the process. Salary and base are low for the connection team. and the firm gets fined for not paying bonus after you leave the firm. no career development unless you are good at building connections for your next job.

Culture is toxic because most of middle management does not have experience in number of years or prior roles at other companies - becomes very tunnel vision and almost like cult where you are successful if you think the same way. Senior management refers to staff as a “machine”, so juniors are literally seen as a cog in the machine unless you are one of the favorites who brown nose. Good if you are starting off your career as a basic job, but many people end up having trouble finding a new job so stay at the company for a while unhappy.
