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

Exceptional team doing very high value work with CEOs, boards, and investors. Fantastic culture that attracts the very best talent.

Cons

100% remote means you have to make a point to stay connected (though I thoroughly enjoy the flexibility that comes with it).

Pros

Working at ghSMART has been one of the most energizing and fulfilling experiences of my career. Even though I’m not in a client-facing role, I feel deeply connected to the firm’s mission and know that my work truly matters. What stands out most is the people - everyone is not only incredibly sharp, but also kind, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in helping each other succeed. There’s no ego here, just a shared commitment to doing great work and making a difference. Leadership is transparent and approachable, and you really feel trusted to do your job well. You’re given a lot of autonomy, but also plenty of support. It’s fast-paced and expectations are high, but the culture is healthy and sustainable, not the kind of "high performance" that burns people out.

Cons

- It’s not a place for coasting - the pace and standards are high - Being remote requires strong communication and self-motivation
