Pros

AHEAD is a great place to work. It's a fun place to work where you can be truly transformational in helping your customers. It's a young company that just wants to win, and be truly impactful. The leadership team really wants to learn from the employees, and even though the company continues to grow, they keep it flat and the culture is both creative and vibrant. They appreciate talent, and really have some of the best sales and engineering talent around.

Cons

Because it's still a small company, many of the resources are over-worked and it can be difficult to get proper resources scheduled in a timely manner.

Pros

The best part, of working at AHEAD, is my coworkers. With industry leading employees across all facets of the company, there is a wealth of knowledge to absorb. The best part is my coworkers WANT to share their knowledge with me and WANT to hear what I have to say though I’ve only been at AHEAD a few months. You can walk up to anyone in the company, including the executive team and ask a question or share an idea. Everyone is always trying to bring new ideas to the table, not because it's their job, but because they love what they do and they want to see AHEAD succeed. The employees are at AHEAD truly care about you and want to see you thrive and grow, no matter your age, job, or skill level. It speaks to our unique company culture. Our unlimited PTO program and our 401k match are sweet bonuses too! Plus our office location in Chicago makes the work commute easy for all times of transportation.

Cons

Can be different to get to know those employees in remote locations.
