Dont be fooled - Client Associate Third Bridge Employee Review

CONSULTING VERTICAL (in connections) IS TOXIC!!!also hear every other vertical of the biz sucks, including the forum side -Beware of the oversized egos and racist practices that are within these walls -This place is modern day S L A V E R Y and u get sucked in before you know it. Dont even think about it if you have a commute beyond 30 minutes. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE HOURS ARE 9-6pm (if your team is 1 if the few to typically leave on time) so DO NOT LET THE SALARY and numbers on the offer letter fool u. U will start to realize SOMEONE ELSE AT A DIFF COMPANY “WORKING LATE” (i.e., works regular 9-5, works late til 6pm) is your EVERYDAY WORK HOURS and people are constantly working late to meet the insane targets that increase every month. -There are TOO MANY managers and people in leadership (VPs) that do not deserve to be in their promotions. They are also very insecure in their roles and manage poorly because of it. Leadership has no brain and gets by from riding others coattails and rewarding favoritism in order to have more puppets. -Be advised that your contributions are not always recognized if you are a person of color (compared to others on your team). This does not mean Hispanic in this case, because many tend to be the right skin color - if you are “white passing,” you will be just fine. If not, I am sorry to tell you nobody in management is a darker skin tone. They will skip over your achievements. They will want to pick your brain after promoting others and not rewarding you. Dont fall for it. Bias is all the way up to leadership against people who have darker skin. I speak from experience, as well as hearing the stories on other teams, and from perspective of ny white peers who have witnessed it. There is too much underhanded discrimination that is disguised as concern… Again, if you want work life balance ……… think again. Lets just say the company was faced with an overtime lawsuit for very valid reasons. If you want to be overworked in due time, believe me, you have found the right place. I came from a team where they were popping adderrals like candy to survive. It will feel like cramming for college again. Your anxiety and blood pressure will rise too often. You will be measured on factors outside your control. Things will seem good, and then they will push you too far, because “its just the nature of the business.” You will work on weekends. You will be slaved when you’re supposed to be off. The farther you go, the less rewarding it will feel. The work itself is redundant. Dont be like me and get overlooked every now and again. Dont get stuck here for more than a year and a half to two years. Otherwise you will find yourself suddenly looking to leave desperately, but searching in a job market that does not value your advancements at this company, simply because you do not gain typical exposure to business tools and work styles that are the industry standard for project management (if you get promoted) and nobody currently there is going to ever tell you this because theyre trapped themselves tryin to pretend its all good Its giving “Get Out” (the movie) My advice if u take a job here: it will suck to know you do a lot in this role but always think about how you can convey your significance during interviews with companies outside your field of work starting from day 1 Trust the vibes and take nothing lightly. If you get the slightest inclination that there is tension with your manager, you are indeed done Oh and HR….? Thats just a facade that was set up to be allowed to operate… more puppets
