Overwhelmingly bad experience - Research Associate Third Bridge Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and honest review. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience with us was not what you had hoped for, and we appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. It’s encouraging to hear that you found the CEO approachable and that you had positive interactions with him. We’re also glad that you saw value in our buddy system and felt support through it. That said, the concerns you’ve raised, particularly regarding management behaviour, team culture, the nature of the work, and work-life balance are deeply concerning and not in line with the kind of environment we strive to create. Feedback like this is critical for us to reflect on where we may have fallen short and how we can do better. Regarding management here at Third Bridge, we are committed to developing leaders who have the experience and skills necessary to support our teams effectively. We take your points about unrealistic expectations, communication styles, and development opportunities seriously. We’re always reviewing how we develop, train, and support our managers to ensure that leadership at all levels reflects the values of fairness, respect, and transparency. We also recognise the importance of clear communication about the nature of the work involved, so that new team members have realistic and informed expectations from day one. Additionally, we understand how important it is to feel supported, appreciated, and part of a cohesive team. We value your honesty in sharing both the good and the difficult aspects of your role. Thank you again for sharing your feedback.
