Pros

I've been working here since January of 2021, and what a waste of time! - You've probably seen 'friendly colleagues/environment' as a positive though this is a facade and you realise when WFH that this is a soul-draining, glorified phone call centre with incompetent and cliquey management.

Cons

** HR: don't bother replying to this post with your generic and pathetic copy & paste answer. - The whole office is 95% white, no diversity. Though they claim to be improving this. Yet, I am yet to see this since turn-over is high and retention rate is Very Very low. - Being micromanaged daily, and dealing with micro-aggressions and condescending attitudes from managers alike is common practise. - IF you don't meet targets, you're out. It's crippling trying to stay afloat. And this is mostly based on luck, as all you do is send connections through to people on LinkedIn. - You're made to feel awkward for wanting to leave at 6pm, but are grilled for being 5 minutes late. - expected to reply to emails within 5 minutes, you're seniors can see all your emails and know when you don't do this. - expected to continue client work into the night passed 11 pm sometimes. I'm lucky as I live relatively close to the office, but this is still annoying. - To new graduates, avoid this place as it's NOT a consulting job but a glorified CALLS CENTRE. The novelty of this job has definitely worn off! Sales targets just keep on increasing.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. It’s disappointing to hear that you’re not enjoying your Third Bridge experience. If you haven’t already, we encourage you to discuss this with any of our leadership team or your HRBP. As you’ve been with us for a while now, you’ll know that we’re well into a big piece of work, including focus groups and other feedback mechanisms with the team, to ensure we’re shaping and positioning the work you do in the right way for your growth and our clients. You touch upon wellbeing and diversity, both important areas that we are committed to improving. Many of our roles are not 9am-6pm jobs, and we do want to ensure our employees are able to have the right work life balance. We take our employees’ well being seriously, providing flexible work options, ESG employee resource groups to foster a diverse and inclusive culture, putting on opportunities for the team to relax with colleagues or enjoying a ‘personal day’ on us, for example. And we’re making great strides across our recruitment and talent management practices to increase the diversity of our team, including signing the Change the Race Ratio. The work we mention above is continuously evolving, so we would welcome a further conversation to help ensure it feels real and meaningful.

Pros

Good entry-level opportunity with exposure to fast-paced, client-facing work. The company hires driven, sociable individuals and can be a strong starting point for building communication, prioritization, and execution skills in a high-performance environment.

Cons

High turnover and inconsistent management quality significantly impact the employee experience. Success is heavily dependent on your team lead and manager, with limited recourse if you’re placed under ineffective leadership. In my experience, poor communication, lack of emotional intelligence, and unclear expectations from management made it difficult to succeed and negatively affected day-to-day productivity. Internal processes around performance management and PTO lacked transparency. I was placed on a PIP and terminated shortly after (within a week) in a way that felt abrupt and not aligned with prior communication, which was initially framed as a discussion around pending PTO. There were also delays in PTO approvals, and I experienced issues with compensation adjustments following a promotion that required follow-up to resolve.
