Innovated thought is encouraged. Everybody has a say in the company from the CEO to the new interns. Employees are valued and motivated to take things to the next level.
Leadership, AS has a great senior management team that genuinely cares about the industry, our clients, our people and our company. It is always a learning experience and a motivating factor seeing hard and intelligent work from the top down. The CEO and other executives are always accessible and willing to help with any task. Also a career path is always on the table in areas that interest me within the company.
Finally, The company has worked with me to adopt family/ work balance and often time I get to work from home after being gone on assignment for days. During my time with AS I have been promoted and received several raises and performance bonuses.
Inconvénients
It used to take a bit to hear back from HR. However, that has changed since the company has hired more people to support that department.
