Pros

Every interaction with a colleague or client is an opportunity to help, learn or support a really impressive human being take on a big challenge. Every piece of work we do is important, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. Our collective heart is always in the right place. We really strive for excellence, and it's made me a better professional.

Cons

You have to be willing to manage yourself. You also have to be willing to do real work, some of it might feel like grunt work, as we run lean with few support resources. There is little spoonfeeding, so sometimes you have to be willing to seek out counsel, coaching and development. But people are always willing to give it. We are not yet huge and global in scale nor are we a small mom and pop, but we can have some of the disadvantages of both.

Pros

- I get to do the leadership and organization work I love, every day - We get to work at the highest levels of influence (CEOs, boards) with the most prominent clients in the world - Colleagues are genuinely kind and collaborative, there are no politics or backstabbing

Cons

- A good chunk of the work is solo, which creates a lot of flexibility but is a switch from traditional consulting - The remote culture isn't for everyone although the firm does a pretty amazing job of bringing people together. And when people are together the are remarkably present

Pros

There are many pros to working for ghSMART - 1. The team - people at ghSMART are amazing, supportive, and genuinely care for each other and want each other to win and be successful. Hands down, the most unique, intelligent, caring group of people I've ever worked with. 2. The culture allows you to be yourself and work within the freedom and flexibility the company prides itself on. I have never worked anywhere where it's encouraged to take a field trip with your child, make appointments during the day, enjoy dinner with your family every evening, and the list goes on - that's the ghSMART way! 3. Working fully remote has been such a fantastic bonus to working at ghSMART. I still feel connected, I get to see my colleagues in person from time to time, yet my work/life balance is the best it's been in my entire career. 4. The leadership team is available to connect with; they listen to their teams. The C-Suite team is newly formed and makes an incredible lineup of dynamic, approachable leaders.

Cons

There are none that I can see.
