Third Bridge reviews

Once promoted, lots of emailing over time. Lack of career growth

- managers are very inexperienced and often immature and unprofessional when handling sensitive situations - bottom line is all that matters (everything else comes second including work life balance, ethical behavior, valuing the time of experts, proper compensation for experts, individual ideas, etc) - you are expendable if you are not meeting your goals. even one month of missing target means your job is in jeopardy, Even past success and consistency in meeting target does not change this, - if you are not currently employed at the time your bonus is paid out, you are not eligible to receive it (quarterly bonuses are paid out at the end of the month following the end of the quarter. For example, Q1 bonus paid out in late April.) After being 6 months removed from Third Bridge, my feelings about the company and my time there are confirmed. While I am thankful for all that I learned there, the job is not worth the mental stress, lack of work life balance, and overly selfish/competitive environment. If you are okay with that lifestyle, work in real private equity where you get more reasonably paid for the amount of hours you put in. At Third Bridge, you work the same hours as your PE clients, but you are paid 1/3 less.
