Pros
Having joined Third Bridge in the middle of the pandemic and in a totally virtual environment I've found everyone to be extremely welcoming and supportive. Third Bridge has a great induction programme which ensured I was equipped with everything I needed to know within my first few weeks. The use of internal tools such as Slack really allowed me to meet and connect with my new colleagues too. They also offer a home working allowance which enabled me to buy the equipment I needed to work from home. Overall, I've really enjoyed my first six months of working at Third Bridge as I've been empowered to work autonomously, share ideas and feel actively listened to and been encouraged to speak up if I see a process or activity that could be improved.
Cons
It's completely outside of Third Bridge's control but the only downside for me so far has been not being able to physically meet my new colleagues or attend any social events, which I hear are pretty fun - hopefully we'll be able to resume these soon!
