Pros

The people are okay Salary is decent

Cons

DO NOT WORK FOR THIRD BRIDGE! It is a glorified call centre with no level of intellect required! A run down of what you’ll be doing each day: 1) meeting in the morning where you’re assigned projects. The projects involve you either screening specialists on the existing TB database or custom RECRUITING (key word here is recruiting) people on LinkedIn (C-execs etc) who can offer your client some sort of knowledge/expertise 2) you will then spend your time until lunch doing takes a trained monkey could perform... opening up LinkedIn and capturing profiles to add onto the database. You will then have to cold-call them and sell the TB product- oh god it’s awfully dull! 3) you will then have a meeting after lunch where you discuss any updates on your projects. Another chore for get through... 4) for the rest of the day, you will continue screening specialists- calling them to assess their level of knowledge on the clients issue, then writing up a ‘relevant experience’ on the database to send to the client ...And that’s it! No skills learned at all. Nothing to help advance you on in your career. Absolutely nothing. TB tend recruits people from top-tier universities - I simply cannot see why? These monotonous tasks can be done by anyone with half a brain cell. If you want to be micro-managed, learn nothing , and spend your days doing mine-numbingly boring tasks then Third Bridge is the place to work. Cross that metaphorical bridge to NOWHERE! Graduates or those seeking employment please apply elsewhere, even if the salary is lower. You will at least gain valuable and transferable skills! DO NOT WORK HERE

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.
