First of all, thank you for your review and advice.
However, several of your comments appear to be factually wrong.
First, no-one can call herself/himself a "Former Employee - FinTech Analyst" as:
- this job title never existed in GreySpark
- all the members of the FinTech Strategy Team are still accounted for and busy working on projects
Also, our head office is located in the London Bridge area, at the end of Bermondsey Street (as can be checked on googlemaps). It is a short 10-min walk from London Bridge station and located in a vibrant and up-in-coming part of London. According to the Metropolitan Police (https://www.met.police.uk/sd/stats-and-data/), the likelihood of being mugged in this area is about half of what it is the Strand & Whitehall area.
However, two things are absolutely true about this firm:
1 - we look for and hire individuals with talent (sometimes raw) and potential. We then dedicate care, money, time and effort to allow these individuals to develop into true leaders
2 - nobody has ever worked for GreySpark because she or he had to. People work for GreySpark because they choose to.
As a consequence, the individuals who find a passion for consulting in financial services, and who keep up with the pace of a very demanding industry, will rise to senior management positions and even partner in a fewer number of years than in any other firm like ours.
On the other hand, when GreySpark is no longer the place where someone aspires to be in the long term, she or he can take with her or him all the training, the skills, the knowledge, the experience and the relationships built during their time at GreySpark and use these assets to succeed anywhere she or he chooses to go.
We are very proud of our colleagues who continue to be the leaders that GreySpark had a part in them becoming.
