Pros

ghSMART is for people who love supporting clients on their most important leadership challenges. The firm has excellent access to great leaders and great organizations, which creates fantastic opportunities to serve clients. We have a tremendous brand and depth of expertise that means our offering is distinctive. We leverage our colleagues. We also have a lot of fun. We spend time together, develop one another, and we all have an opportunity to make an outsized impact on the firm and the world. And, we are paid for the work we do, which creates tremendous flexibility and establishes fair compensation that enables you to live life in the way you choose.

Cons

Client service requires hard work, flexibility, and travel. While these can all be positive for the right person, ghSMART is not for everyone.

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.
