Pros

Occasional travel opportunities if signed off.

Cons

I don't recommend working at Trilateral Research: 1. There is a severe lack of opportunities for progression internally as management prefers hiring externally. Staff are expected to take on responsibilities of a senior role for months and years to even be considered for promotion. 2. There is a severe lack of transparency and clear communication from (senior) management. CEO is incredibly removed from its employees, particularly from staff in the research department. Impossible to reach CEO regarding any concerns or suggestions, communication always goes through senior management, making it very hierarchical. 3. For a company that puts innovation at the heart of its business model senior management lack creativity, skills, and  willingness to steer away from 'business as usual' and what worked in the past - to the detriment of staff. 4. Lack of appreciation and acknowledgement of the value that the research department is bringing to the company. Instead, there is a clear prioritisation of the tech department. 5. Concerningly hostile behavior from HR towards staff if something that is not in the interest of HR is being raised. Lack of genuine support of staff, creating an environment of distrust. 6. No opportunity for further actual development within the career, such as adequate learning opportunities (paid courses and certificates). Instead, staff is expected to 'learn as you go' and teach each other on areas nobody has proper experience in. 7. Benefits offered are the bare minimum required by law and rarely go beyond that.

Pros

Some people are friendly if you don't report to a director you are likely to be fine.

Cons

Salaries were frequently delayed without prior notice, making it difficult to plan financially for my family. Despite promoting a strong culture and values, the actual work environment felt toxic, with poor communication from senior management. Following multiple redundancies, expectations remained unchanged despite significantly reduced staffing levels. Leadership, including the CEO and CFO, often failed to honor commitments, reflecting a lack of accountability. Ultimately, the consistent lack of respect for both my work and me as an individual led me to resign. People who leave for money return, but people who leave for the culture never return back. HR does nothing about it.

Pros

Nice colleagues and friendly people

Cons

The CFO has failed to put in place even the most basic financial processes required to run the company effectively. Despite significant hiring within the finance function, there is still no clear financial governance, no reliable forecasting, and no long-term financial projection. The company is operating with insufficient cash flow to reliably meet payroll obligations, relying instead on ad-hoc monthly transfers, with no evident mitigation or corrective action from the CFO. This lack of financial leadership and proactive planning has directly contributed to repeated rounds of redundancies across multiple departments over the past year — outcomes that could have been avoided with competent, hands-on financial management. Similarly, the HR function has demonstrated a complete absence of empathy, transparency, or people-centred decision-making throughout this period, further compounding the organisational impact. I don't understand why the CEO doesn't do much about it, he seems to treat DCS better as there were salary reviews only for them.
