50% Turnover - Graduates Beware

Anonymous employee
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The other graduates you start with are genuinely amazing. The work social life is active and the perks are good (trips abroad, free drinks etc.). The job looks good on paper, making you relatively employable when looking for other jobs

Cons

No matter the amount of fun people around and perks, this job is mindlessly boring. For the first 3 months you will simply be copy pasting linkedin profile information into the internal system, as well as cold calling. After you start project managing your will continue with the profile copying and cold calling, but also answer emails and call your clients. All in all your job is endless admin, with little to no thinking or analysis behind it. You have no job security. New graduates frequently get fired in their first few months. Senior employees can easily be put back on probation due to matters which are beyond their control. The target system is completely commission based and favours certain parts of the business (funds and private equity) and does not take external factors, such as seasonality, properly in to account. The stress due to the targets monthly makes numerous employees ill and is very counter-productive. Management has shown no willingness to amend it. Currently, there is a trend of barely 50% of each intake lasting for more than 1 year. If you do intend to start working here, I greatly recommend to continue searching for other jobs.

COLLEGE GRADS BEWARE

Recommend

Pros

They only hire kids directly out of college, about 10 per month. You will make friends.

Cons

The job is awful, and Third Bridge is misleading about what the "Research Analyst" role actually entails. This is a Recruiting role, there is no research involved. Every day consists of sending out email blasts and making cold calls in order to recruit people to consult for Third Bridge. They track the number of email blasts you send and the number of cold calls you make, and you're scolded if either of these numbers is too low. You have a "target" number of people you need to recruit every month, and your performance is 100% measured by whether or not you hit this target. If you do not hit the target in your first four months you are fired. If you've been there a while and miss the quota two months in a row you are put on probation, which means if you don't hit target the following month you're fired. They hire an incredible number of people because they fire a lot of people, and those who don't get fired rarely stay for more than a year. To be clear, the possibility of being fired after only a few months is very real.
