Employees say:
- “The small firm culture allows you to work with anyone and everyone — no project is too big or too small. Everyone is accessible. There are no hoops to jump through if you have something you want to discuss with management.”
- “I believe the main reason people like working at GH&A is that they feel like they are a part of something bigger. They are part of an organization that believes in diversity, inclusion and community service.”
- “I love this firm — and obviously, everybody loves it too because nobody ever leaves. I enjoy that we want to be the best, but I also enjoy all the fun we have like pumpkin-carving contests, Christmas stocking contests, market contests, etc.”
