      Pros

      The benefits are quite nice if you can use them. The teams and people you work with day to day are quite talented and skilled at their domain.

      Cons

      There is an unlimited PTO policy but I found that requesting time off was heavily scrutinized. Resource Management function is broken. If you have a utilization target it is quite easy for you to be assigned well beyond that, forcing you to work evenings and weekends to keep up. Pay compared to the industry is quite low.

      Pros

      Going from a toxic employer to AHEAD has been the best change for my happiness. Everyone at AHEAD is motivated, positive, and willing to help each other. I no longer dread logging into work, and even enjoy the days where I have to work a bit longer or go the extra mile, because I know it will be appreciated and I can take the time I need in return. Having unlimited PTO you don't get shamed for using is amazing. I've been supported in my efforts and have a lot of autonomy without micromanagement, which is a great feeling. Upper management really trusts you and trusts in the hire.

      Cons

      While being in a high-growth company is exciting, it can also be exhausting. Sometimes you need the "rocket ship" to take a beat, but there is no real lull. More company-wide time off would be helpful so that you can get a break where you don't come back to 50+ emails per day. The only other downside is that due to the fabulous employee retention, people stay in their roles for a looong long time. There are not a lot of opportunities for upward mobility as a result, from what I have seen thus far.
