Vantaggi

The company is on its way to liquidation. If you have a choice between killing yourself or working here, my only advice is 1 minute of pain is better than an eternity of suffering.

Svantaggi

This company is a complete joke, if you have recently applied don't waste your time. Honestly find something else. The partners are imbeciles and they are happy to interview and waste your time when they have no current projects in the pipeline. They are likely to offer you a job after 3 long interview rounds and then rescind your offer when they realize they can't afford to pay you. Office location is really bad, good chance you could get mugged on your way home when it starts to get dark. Bermondsey (Millwall) is not worse place on earth but not an ideal office location.

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. GreySpark alumni: - have started their own businesses and several FinTech companies - joined and hold management positions in the most prestigious financial institutions - head trade associations and think-thanks - joined and hold management positions in the most prestigious consulting firms

Vantaggi

GreySpark has a strong culture in terms of ideas and knowledge sharing. People have the opportunity to contribute, to be challenged intellectually and to learn, leading to a natural tendency towards thought leadership and being in step with the current (and future) challenges that our clients have to contend with. GreySpark is an international firm with a client-centric approach and is able to successfully partner with its customers on global mandates in key financial hubs including London, Hong Kong and New York.

Svantaggi

Although GreySpark has a comprehensive career ladder framework which caters for people that can progress via a "Management / Commercial" track or an "Expert" track, continued investment in helping people to think of themselves as a "business owner" and not just an "employee" will help to define the mentality of whether people embrace the opportunity with GreySpark as a business opportunity as opposed to just a day job.
