Best people and environment - Senior Manager One Capital Advisory Employee Review

Thank you for the feedback, your concerns have been noted. One Capital acknowledges that any role within the corporate finance advisory / investment banking services industry requires long working hours (including occasionally over weekends when transactions have client and regulatory deadlines that have to be achieved) and generally a high workload exists. However, this is proactively disclosed to future employees, both during the multiple interviews held and also specifically referenced in great detail in employment contracts/offers, ensuring that employees have a very clear understanding of the industry and its demands, prior to accepting an employment offer. Interviews with all candidates are conducted by a minimum of 4 experienced team members representing One Capital (all of whom have been with the Company for at least 6 years), to provide every future employee with a very accurate view of the working environment and industry requirements, especially working hours. However, the industry also handsomely rewards its participants over time, i.e., for the necessary sacrifices made and the effort put into a person’s professional development, once a certain level of experience and skill has been developed by a professional. All employees are afforded ample opportunity to engage with management and to discuss concerns around workloads and project allocation whereby work may be reallocated to support employees who are genuinely struggling. It is unfortunate that the concerns raised, and sentiments expressed in this public review, were not highlighted by you during numerous internal discussions held and feedback received from you as part of the exit interview process. We note that you were also given an opportunity to step away from a particularly demanding transaction, which you declined and then specifically requested to remain on this deal team. We are also surprised to hear your very negative sentiments about the firm, whereas in your resignation letter you expressed very positive feedback and described your time with One Capital as a highly rewarding experience for which you were truly grateful. We wish you all the best in your future endeavours and we trust you will find a career path better suited to your aspirations.
