AVOID AT ALL COSTS - Research Associate Third Bridge Employee Review

I worked for this company for 2 and half years so I feel like I’m uniquely suitable to review it since most people don’t even make it to a year there. - pay : they underpay you and expect you to work long and excessive hours without getting any overtime. They tell you not to discuss your pay or bonus with other employees which is ILLEGAL (an employer cannot tell you this). If you complain, they make it very clear that you are expandable and easily replaceable. - culture : culture at Third Bridge is EXTREMELY toxic. Upper management picks favorites, gossips, and does not value your work. I was a top performer and they still treated me like crap since I was not a yes man. They are looking for people that will be a cheerleader for the company and pretend that they are ok with being treated poorly. No feedback you will give will ever be taken into consideration. You will be disrespected and never valued. Everyone is really young and the atmosphere is very clique-oriented. - work : you by no means need a college degree to do this job. It is NOT a research role. It is a recurring role. You are on linkedin all day looking for “specs” (specialists) to talk to your clients on a phone discussion. You are essentially a glorified assistant. The work is dull, life sucking, and thankless. You do not learn any hard skills at all. The bottom line: Third Bridge is ALL about cutting costs and maximizing the return to their PE investors. They pay lip service to their employees, but they DO NOT care about them at all. Everyone is easily replaceable to them and they hire people monthly to make up for the massive amount of turnover. They have staff write positive reviews on here to try to offset the negative ones. The only people that do well here are those who suck up to management and are ok with being treated according to subhuman standards and conditions. I would advise anyone that is considering a job here to run away AT ALL COSTS! Take my word for it, working here was one of the worst things I did in my life.
