Pros
I was hired for a 2-week contract assignment at Gresham, Smith and Partners and never dreamed it would turn into a 20-year career with the firm! During my tenure, I have been given the opportunity to work in 3 different roles including staffing, training and communications. I am thankful GS&P has supported and challenged me in my career growth, and I am a stronger contributor and professional due to this positive environment. In addition, GS&P allowed me to set a flexible schedule and telecommute 2 days a week for the last 6 years, which has helped me maintain a work/life balance with my young children. But, what has made me return day after day over the years is the PEOPLE. It’s the friends I work with that make GS&P great. It’s hard to leave a company when you love working for your manager and there’s awesome chemistry with your team. I know this combination is hard to find in the workplace and I don’t take it for granted. Bottom line: if you’re looking for a great place to work where you can diversify your resume, meet great people and have a little fun in the process, I highly recommend you consider building your career at Gresham, Smith and Partners.
Cons
Working in a larger corporate office can be a blessing and a curse. On one hand, you have tons of resources at your disposal—technical help, mentors, endless supplies, etc. But on the other hand, the bureaucracy of a corporate setting can easily slow down the work you need to get done.
