Pros

I feel very grateful to be doing valuable work with awesome, smart colleagues. I am thankful that I am in a position where I am supported to learn and grow and that I have the opportunity to be in a role that fits my highest talents and interests. I would highly recommend ghSMART - it is a great place to work. We do work hard, but our hard work is compensated in various ways such as flexible hours, bonuses, and gratitude.

Cons

There are pros and cons to working for a virtual firm. For me, it is a con.

Pros

- Highly personable, intelligent colleagues who go out of their way to do what's right for their clients and internal team - Solid internal processes and IP that deliver high impact and quality to clients - Freedom to choose how much you do, what you do, and for the most part, when you do it - Leadership team with a unified and realistic vision for the future of the firm - Compensation that is fair and commensurate with the work that you do, with the option to participate in the ownership of the firm.

Cons

This is still a client service industry job, and not a 9-5 job, so you just need to be flexible at times in order to meet client demands, but it's still much better than a typical consulting firm in that regard.

Pros

There are several things that come to mind when thinking about why I love my job: - We have tremendous impact on our clients. We genuinely work on their most important issues (senior-level talent and leadership issues) and help them make real changes. Coming from strategy consulting where often our "work" ended up on a shelf somewhere, this has been a huge shift. It's great to know you're actually making a difference. - The team is incredibly talented and helps each other grow & learn in ways that I haven't experienced elsewhere. - The flexibility to choose what you want to work on (rather than being "staffed' to a project in the middle of nowhere without any say) is tremendous. I get to focus on working on projects that I really enjoy, and with people I like to work with. Also, you can dial up or dial down your intensity depending on what else is going on in your life, which is amazing.

Cons

Hard to come up with downsides - I think for people who crave face-to-face interaction every day, it can be tougher because we tend to work remotely. There is occasional travel, but significantly less than with other consulting jobs, so it's not a big issue.
