Pros
Coming from a highly corporate environment where performance pressure felt constant and job security was uncertain, transitioning to SMBHD has been a refreshing change. The leadership team is supportive, transparent, and provides clear structure without micromanaging. There’s a strong sense of trust that allows you to truly own your role and bring your expertise to the table. Despite being a smaller, boutique consulting firm, there is significant opportunity for growth and upward mobility. You’re encouraged to learn, collaborate with experienced colleagues, and embrace a growth mindset. It feels like a place where your contributions matter and your career can genuinely progress. The office environment is another standout—fully renovated with a full kitchen, modern conference room technology, and adjustable standing desks. It delivers the feel of a large corporate office without the stress and bureaucracy that typically come with it.
Cons
As with many smaller firms, processes and structure are still evolving in certain areas, which can occasionally require adaptability and patience. However, this also creates opportunities to help shape and improve how things are done.
