Soulless work environment. Is bearable if making money is your sole motive. - Research Analyst Third Bridge Employee Review

Pros

Really nice co-workers Good pay Working alongside offices in other locations

Cons

The company calls itself a primary research agency which is completely false. It is basically a call center where you have to continuously call up people and persuade them to help with your "project." There is no analysis nor any brain work required for the job. It can get depressing and monotonous with no mental stimulation. The work environment is terrible. It's very difficult to get personal leave approved and you have to provide multiple reasons for taking leave. Even a sick leave is often cross questioned. It is a target driven organisation so if you are not converting enough phone calls you may have issues dealing with the pressure. Lastly, irrespective of the career progression the job remains pretty much the same unless you are sitting in the head office.

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.
