Pros

The people at AHA are awesome! Some of the brightest individuals I have ever worked with. Social activities are fun and are great team building experiences. Client work is for the most part interesting as new clients and work keep things fresh.

Cons

Downtime between projects or client work is somewhat frustrating when you are trying to keep billable. Communication from management could be a little better with regards to upcoming work and what is expected from employees.

Pros

The staff was all excellent people for the last couple years

Cons

The company has made a significant leadership changes and adjustment over the last 2 years and the culture has evaporated. The turn-over has been staggering int he past year (20+ people exiting from the 40 person company). Between selective lay offs (the leadership has favorites not based upon performance) and a massive amount of Senior staff leaving due to lack of corporate leadership and sales instability, the company is in a taters. Recently the an entire practice has quit only to be told they will be litigated against (by the CEO). A new title has recently emerged called "principle' and staff isn't really sure if that is an owner or what that is. The last remaining co-founder is sending mixed messages as to it he is leaving or not as well. The once strong future built on new and stable clients now feels like a rutterless ship with a few small deals that are timing out.

By attracting and retaining great talent we have been able to deliver outstanding service to our clients, strengthening our ability to continue building our reputation and client base. Every year, we add significant new accounts to our client base - this past year has been like no other - as we have expanded across industries as diverse as pharmaceuticals, telecommunications and media, financial services, travel and hospitality, utilities and energy. This year again, we were honoured to be named to the PROFIT500 list as Ottawa's Fastest Growing Firm and in the Top 15 in Canada. We were especially proud that some of our alliance partners were also named to the list and we trust that by working together we will continue to grow, compete in our chosen markets and create jobs in Ottawa and elsewhere. We thank you for your feedback and wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

AHA is a great place to help you build your career, if you are willing to work hard. We function as a team, and we always have each other's backs. There is never a time I feel unsupported or lost. Guidance is always available, and peers are always willing to jump in when needed. Senior managers are very involved in our projects, and they teach you how to grow professionally to get to their level. You have the opportunity to learn about different industries and master new skills, which is transferrable to any job. There are volunteer opportunities for you to give back to the community, including blood donations and the big bike. On top of all this, there are snacks in the office, pop in the fridge, and monthly socials that each team hosts.

Cons

- Some peak times where work/life balance is compromised - Company is small, and if you have never worked in this job function before, there is a steep learning curve - The culture is unstructured compared to large organizations. If you need structure in your job, this company is not for you.
