Pros

Great work environment, great team. Benefits and pay was very good. I felt like I was adding great value and was supported by dedicated Engineers that really brought me up fast, I learned more in my two years with Ahead than 10 years with my previous employer.

Cons

Lost a lot of good people due to outsourcing to India. Leadership never admitted to that, but it was plain to see. They said, no "more layoffs" after a 3% staff cut. Next week, another 3%. Meanwhile, Indian counterparts kept filling the empty roles. I lost good teammates that I learned a lot from. It created a paranoia that you were next on the chopping block. I managed to find work elsewhere before both of my direct teammates got laid off. I could have definitly made a career there, but I didn't feel confident enough to ride the storm out.

Pros

Remote work, that’s it, that’s the pro.

Cons

It is surprising that this company has achieved the level of "success" it has, given several concerning issues: - The approach to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) seems excessive and lacks authenticity. - There is a notable absence of organization across all levels of the business. - The culture within the Senior and Executive Leadership teams reflects a "Good Ol' Boys Club" mentality, which might be more acceptable if the company's performance were satisfactory. Unfortunately, it is not. - There appear to be numerous redundant resources that have been hired to support processes that are fundamentally flawed.

Pros

- Salary seems higher than market at the moment - unlimited PTO - even during RIFs still received quarterly bonus. - works as to be expected if you've done consulting before

Cons

- 3 RIFs and - what feels like bi-monthly reorg has lead to a workplace that feels isolated. You don't know who's on your team, who to go to for anything, - high turnover. Everyone I worked with when hired 2+ years ago is gone. - CEO opinion that if revenues are low we are just not working hard enough or delivering with enough quality.
